  • 1 cup semolina
  • 1 cup curd
  • 3.5 tbsp fresh peas, shelled
  • ½ cup beans, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Bengal gram dal
  • 2 tsp curry leaves
  • 2 whole green chillies, finely chopped (optional)
  • 4 tsp groundnut oil
  • 1/2 cup water (for steaming)

Dry Spices

  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • Use minimal amount of salt
  1. Wash and clean beans, onion, carrot thoroughly and finely chop them.
  2. Take a utensil and add sooji, curd and salt and mix well. 
  3. Take a pan with a teaspoon of oil and add the chopped vegetables to it. Stir-fry for a few minutes until they are slightly cooked but still retain their crunchiness. Set aside to cool.
  4. In the same pan, add a teaspoon of oil and add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add Bengal gram dal and sauté until turned golden brown.
  5. Add curry leaves and chopped green chillies. Sauté for a few seconds.
  6. Add the vegetables and the baghar prepared above into the batter.
  7. Grease the idli molds with a little oil. Pour the batter into each mold, filling them about 3/4th full, as idlis tend to rise while steaming.
  8. Place the filled molds in a steamer with water filled to a quarter of its capacity. Steam on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the idlis comes out clean.
  9. Serve hot with sambar or chutney.
