Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Combine Dry Ingredients and Vegetables

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, soaked moong dal, chopped cabbage, grated sweet potato, chopped green chilies, and ginger. Add the cumin seeds.

2. 2.Add Salt and Water

   Sprinkle salt to taste over the mixture, then add 1/2 cup of water.

3. 3.Mix the Batter

   Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until a consistent batter is formed. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape.

4. 4.Prepare Idli Plates

   Grease the idli plates with a little oil to prevent sticking.

5. 5.Fill Idli Molds

   Divide the batter into 12 equal portions and place them onto the greased idli plates. Gently spread the batter a little thin in each mold, forming a ring shape if desired.

6. 6.Steam the Idlis

   Place the filled idli plates into an Instant Pot or a traditional steamer. Steam on 'Steam' mode with the vent open for 12 minutes. If using a traditional steamer, steam for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.

7. 7.Remove Cooked Idlis

   Once steaming is complete, carefully remove the idlis from the molds using a spoon or knife.

8. 8.Serve

   Serve the instant cabbage idlis warm with mango pickle or raw mango coconut chutney.
