How to make Savoury Idli:

  • Wash idli rawa, split black gram and beaten rice and soak them separately, for atleast 2 hours.
  • Using a blender, blend idli rawa and beaten rice, to make a smooth batter.
  • Grind the urad dal separately, using a little water, to make a smooth paste.
  • Now, mix both the batters and add salt. Cover the batter and let it stand for 6-8 hours, for fermentation.

    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.
