Mixed Vegetable Idly
Straightforward Kerala cooking — good ingredients treated well, spiced with confidence, and served without pretence. The kind of food that tastes like someone's kitchen, not a restaurant.
Ingredientsfor 3 servings
- 4 cup Boiled rice Puzhungalari
- 1/4 cup Raw rice (Pachari)
- 11/4 cup Urad dal parippu (Uzhunnu)
- 1 nos Onion big
- 1 nos Carrot
- 100 g Cabbage
- 50 g Beans
- 1 Spring Curry leaves
- 1 Spring Coriander leaves
- 2-3 nos Green chillies
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
For preparing mixed vegetable idly, soak urad dal and rice separately. Grind to a fine batter adding salt and leave it to ferment overnight.
Step 2
Before making idlies, cut the vegetables(cabbage, carrot and beans), sautT in a little oil and add to the batter.
Step 3
Now cut chillies, coriander leaves, onion, ginger and curry leaves and sautT well adding a pinch of salt(need not sautT coriander leaves). Set aside.
Step 4
Make idlies and arrange them on a hot pack. While the idlies are hot, sprinkle some coriander leaves and onion mixture on to them and serve hot.
Step 5
Mixed vegetable idly is ready. Serve with tomato chutney or coconut chutney as side-dish.
Tip
Fresh curry leaves make a genuine difference. Dried curry leaves are a poor substitute — if you cannot get fresh ones, increase the quantity and fry them longer.
