Idli is a popular savory cake of south indian origin. The cakes are usually two to three inches in diameter and are made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented lentils (urad dal) and rice (preferably idli rice) The fermentation process breaks down the starches so that they are more readily metabolized by the body.
This healthy dish is most often eaten at breakfast or as a snack. Idli is usually paired with chutney, sambhar (lentil stew) or other accompaniments. This recipe takes idli to another level by making it a lot more healthier and a lot more wholesome. I used carrots as my stuffing since it is kid friendly but quite honestly you can use whatever your heart desires.
METHOD OF PREPARATION
Ingredients Needed
1. Idli Batter (See Recipe Below)
2. Grated Carrots (Or stuffing of your choice)

STEP 3: Add the other half of the batter over the initial batter.
