Steps

25 minutes

1

Heat Oil in a pan and add Curry Leaves and the Cumin Seeds. Saute them for a minute and then add both the Lentils Bengal Gram and Urad Dal. On a low heat, saute them until light brown in colour.
2

Now add Green Chillies followed by Maize Flour at last. Saute the flour until it is well roasted and smells good. The smell of Maize Flour after roasting is very divine.
3

In a wide bowl, add the beaten Curd, Salt, Onions and Carrots. Stir in the roasted Maize Flour mix along with the chopped Coriander Leaves. Add water little by little to form a thick batter. You might require less or more water depending upon the quality of the maize flour used.
4

Let it sit until the water gets heated up for steaming. After 15 minutes, add the eno fruit salt and mix with light hands. Grease the idli plates a little before filling the batter.
5

Steam them for 15 minutes. Serve them hot with any chutney of your choice. I did mine with Imli Pudina Chutney.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
