First, for making idlis; heat up a pan and add some oil to it along with mustard seeds and curry leaves and roast semolina for around 2 minutes in it. Keep it aside & let it cool for a while.

In a mixing bowl, add curd and water along with the roasted semolina. Add salt as per taste and let it rest for 15 minutes.

After that; heat the steamer well and pour the idli batter into the idli maker. Just before pouring the batter add some eno fruit salt or baking soda to it and mix well.

Steam cook the idlis for 7-10 minutes & then remove form the mould.

You can also use leftover idlis for this recipe. Let the idlis cool down. Meanwhile prepare the tandoori marination.

Add thick curds to a bowl &add gram flour, kasurimethi, masalas and salt to it. Heat the mustard oil on high flame & add this smoked oil into the marination. Mix well and add the cubed vegetables to it. Also add cubed idlis to it.

Keep the marination a bit on thinner side as the idlis will soak up the moisture from the marination. Cover it and let it rest for a while.

Grilling; now to grill the idlis you can use wooden skewers and grill them directly on the gas stove flame or you can grill them on a grilling pan as well. Serve it hot with raw onion, lemon and green chutney. :)
