Masala idli is a tasty stuffed idli recipe.
Idli is one of the most common breakfasts in our home, but eating the same plain Idli every time is quite boring(for me!!). Inspired from Masala Dosai, in which masala is stuffed in dosai, tried stuffing mixed veg masala into idli. This is a simple dish yet tastes delicious.
Ingredients
- Idli / Dosa batter - 1 cup + 1/2 cup
- Mixed Vegetable Dry - 1/2 cup
- Oil as needed to grease
Instructions
- Grease the idli plates with oil and switch on the steamer with enough water. I used my cooker and steamed without whistle(weight)
- Pour 1 tablespoon of idli batter into each impression (mould) and place the flattened mixed vegetable stuffing and pour 2 tablespoon idli batter to cover the filling.Stack up all the idli plates and steam for 12-15 mins.Rest it for another 5 mins
- Dip a clean wide spoon in water and remove the idlis from the plate.Keep dipping the spoon in water in between to help in taking out the idli easily
- Keep them in hot box or serve directly on to a plate.Always serve these idlis hot
