Steps

1

Collect the necessary materials. Place near the cooking area.

Add curd little by little to the idli mix in the bowl, whisk to make a smooth batter. If need add water to give the right flowing consistency. Stir in ginger, green chilies and baking soda. Add salt to taste. Rest for 15 minutes.
3

Get the idli cooker ready. Have enough water to generate steam. Get the idli stand with the plates ready. Grease the wells in the idli plate. Arrange the veggies as shown in the picture to represent the tricolor of the flag/ I tsp of shredded veggies should do. Now cover the veggies with the batter. Fill the wells 2/3 as you always do for making idlis.
4

When the water boils in the cooker, place the idli stand and cook covered. Use HIGH FLAME. After 5-8 minutes you can smell the cooked aroma. Turn off the stove when you get a cooked smell. After a few minutes open and poke the idli with a stick. The stick will be clean if it is well cooked. Take the stand out. Let it cool, transfer idlis to a serving bowl. Made 12. Soft delicious nutritious idlis are ready to enjoy.

Always taste idlis before serving. Serve with sambar, chili powder, or chutney. I Served with spicy tomato chutney. Share with friends and family,
