Tricolour Idli

On the occasion of independence day tried a different way to make idlies in a tricolour tiranga janda..My kid liked it the most.

Ingredients

• Idli Batter - as required

For Orange Color

• Tomato - 1 big
• Red Chilies - 2

For Green Color

• Cilantro/Mint - 1 cup
• Green Chilly - 1
• Cumin Seeds - 1/4 tsp

• Tricolor Idli/Dosa Batter

  Take the required portion of the idli batter and divide it into three equal parts. Keep one part as such for the white color of the tiranga idli.

  For Orange Colour

  1. Chop the tomatoes into chunks.
  2. Saute the tomatoes and red chilies for just a couple of minutes for the raw taste to go.
  3. Cool it and grind it to a smooth paste.
  4. Mix it with one portion of the batter to make the orange color of the tiranga idli.

  For Green Colour

  1. Chop the cilantro (or mint leaves) roughly.
  2. Saute it with the green chilies for just a couple of minutes to remove the raw flavor.
  3. Cool it and grind it to a smooth paste.
  4. Mix it with the third portion of the batter to make the green color of the tiranga idli.

  To make the tricolour Idlis

  • You can make separate idlis with the three batters and arrange it in tri color.
