Amended Idli

We have a friend in our group who is very health conscious. You know how it is. All of us have "grown up" and now our favourite sport seems to be chit chatting and hanging out in restaurants, eateries with friends.

But not her. She is a total fitness freak and any junk food is a strict no for her! When she was home last week with me, I told her that I would prepare idly for the evening. Then she came up with this idea of amended idli. Let me share this recipe with you. It is a very healthy and delicious snack for people of all ages.

Take 2 cups of Bengal gram (Kala or Kabuli Chana)or any other dal of your choice and soak it in water along with 1 tsp cumin seeds and 2- 3 red chillies for 2-3 hours. (Yes, thats the time!)  

Later, add 1 cup of finely chopped spinach leaves, 1 1/2 tsp of ginger garlic paste, 1 green chilli and a few curry leaves to this and grind it.

Now grease the idli plates, add 1 tbsp of this mixture to each cup. Place it in the idli cooker for around 12 -15 mins to cook. A very healthy for mof idly is ready to be served.  

Eat it with any chutney. You will love it!
