Vermicelli Idli

 Recipe Ingredients:

 

1 1/2 cup vermicelli

1 cup yogurt

1/2 cup grated carrot

1/2 tsp mustard seeds

5-6 curry leaves chopped

1 inch ginger chopped

3-4 green chillies chopped

1/4 cup shredded coconut

1 tsp oil

salt (according to taste)

How to prepare:

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard seeds. Add ginger, green chillies and curry leaves, saute for a minute. Add carrot and saute for a couple of minutes until raw smell goes. Keep this aside to cool.

Beat the yogurt well and add it to vermicelli. Mix well. Add little water if necessary so as to make the batter. This batter will be thick unlike the usual idly batter.Now add the carrot mixture, coconut and salt to this and combine everything well. Keep this aside for 15-20 minutes, half an hour would be best.

Grease the idly stand with a little oil. Pour the vermicelli batter into each mould. Spread it a little using the ladle. Steam cook it for 10-12 minutes. Serve hot with sambhar or chutney.
