For Potato Bhaji
- Mash the potatoes lightly and keep them aside.
- Take a pan and heat oil in it. Now, add mustard seeds.
- When the seeds start to crackle, add the curry leaves, green chilies and onions and fry them till the onions turn golden brown.
- Now, add the mashed potatoes, turmeric powder, lemon juice, coriander and salt and mix well.
- Remove the mixture from heat and keep it aside.
To Proceed
- Take the idli stand and grease it with oil.
- In each mould, spoon some potato bhaji. Now top it with 2 tbsp of idli batter.
- Steam the mixture for 10 to 12 minutes and unmould the idlis.
- Serve hot, with chutney.
