Idlis are steamed thus can help in weight loss. Steamed food has less fat and calories that can increase your weight. Idli is very nutritious as it is a rich source of carbohydrates, fiber, and protein. As idlis are made of fermented batter, the protein, and vitamins B content in the food will increase.
I wanted to make healthy idlis so I took a greased ring mould and placed some grated carrots in it and poured the idli batter over them. Overturned it for a unique cake style idli with lots of carrot in it.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Wash the urad dal nicely and soak it for at least 4 to 6 hours.
In a separate bowl, wash the idli Rava under running water and soak it for an hour. Drain water from the soaked urad dal and grind it in the mixer. Make a smooth thick batter. It should not be runny. Grind till it is soft and fluffy.
2

Transfer the ground batter to a large vessel as the batter will ferment and increase in volume. Squeeze water from the soaked idli ravva and add it to the ground urad dal batter. I use my hand to mix both as it is the best way to get a perfect blend. Now cover with a lid and keep aside in a warm place. Leave the batter to ferment overnight.
3

In the morning, you will see that the batter has risen to the top. Add salt and mix gently with a ladle. The batter is now ready to make idlis.

I wanted to make different idlis so I took a greased ring mould and placed some grated carrots in it and poured the idli batter over them.
Place the mould in a closed pan for ten minutes. Insert a toothpick to check if the idli is done. Gently unmould the idli onto a platter and serve with the chutney in the ring. Drizzle some ghee liberally over the idli.
