2 Green chilli, finely chopped

1"Adrak | Ginger, finely chopped

2 tbsp Fresh Dhania | Coriander Leaves, finely chopped

2 tbsp Carrot, grated

8 French Beans, finely chopped

3/4 tsp Fruit Salt

1/2 tsp Olive oil, to grease Idli moulds

Salt to taste

For tempering:

1/2 tsp Rai | Mustard Seeds

1/2 tsp Urad Dal

1/2 tsp Kali Miri | Black Pepper, roughly crushed

A pinch Hing | Asafoetida Powder

1 sprig Kadhi Pata | Curry Leaves, finely chopped

1 tsp Olive oil (any cooking oil will do)

METHOD

In a pan roast the Oats taking care it does not get burnt for about 5 minutes. In a mixer pulse this roasted oats to get a rough powder. Transfer this into a mixing bowl.
In the same pan roast Lapsi Rava for about 2 minutes. This is just to warm Lapsi Rava. Transfer this into the mixing bowl.
In the same pan, heat the oil for tempering. Add mustard seeds and when it splutters add urad dal, crushed pepper, hing powder and curry leaves. Once tempered, pour this into the mixing bowl.
Grease Idli moulds with oil.
Mix all the remaining ingredients except Fruit Salt. Check for salt and adjust to taste. The consistency of batter should be thick.
Add Fruit Salt and mix well. This will loosen up batter due to the aeration process.
Pour spoonfuls of the batter into Idli mould as we normally prepare Idlis.
Keep the moulds in the steamer and steam for 15 minutes. In case using a pressure cooker, steam them for 15 minutes without the whistle.
