Directions

Description - Step 1

Prepare The Colours

Divide the fermented idli batter equally into three bowls. In one, mix in pureed spinach for green. In another, mix in pureed steamed carrots for saffron. Leave the third bowl plain for the white layer.

Description - Step 2

Grease The Moulds

Lightly grease the idli moulds with oil. This prevents sticking and helps in easy unmoulding.

Description - Step 3

Layer The Batter

Pour 1 spoon of saffron batter first, then plain batter, and finally the green batter to get the tricolour effect. Don’t overfill.

Description - Step 4

Steam The Idlis

Place the moulds in the steamer and steam for 10–12 minutes. Use a toothpick to check doneness—it should come out clean.

Description - Step 5

Cool And Unmould

Let the idlis cool for a minute. Gently scoop them out using a spoon to retain the tricolour layers.
