Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Idli Batter Mixture

In a bowl, take the idli batter. Add chopped green capsicum, yellow bell peppers, red bell peppers, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix all the ingredients well until evenly combined.

Step 2: Steam the Muffin Idlis

Pour the prepared idli batter mixture into a silicone muffin mould, filling each cavity. Place the mould in a steamer and steam for until the idlis are cooked through and fluffy.

Step 3: Serve Hot

On a serving plate, spread a spoonful of coconut chutney. Carefully remove the steamed muffin idlis from the mould and place them on the chutney. Pour a small amount of hot sambhar into the center hole of each muffin idli. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips

• You can use any vegetables of your choice, such as carrots, peas, or corn.

• Serve immediately while hot for the best taste.

Recipe Variations

• Add grated cheese to the batter for a cheesy idli.

• Experiment with different chutneys like tomato chutney or peanut chutney.

• Make mini idlis using smaller moulds for bite-sized snacks.
