Ingredients
One cup of rice, half a cup of urad dal, one cup of spinach puree, one cup of carrot puree, one tablespoon of oil, baking soda as required, and salt to taste.
Soak rice
Take a bowl with water and soak rice and urad dal overnight. Grind the soaked rice and dal into a smooth batter. Add some salt to ferment it.
Prepare puree
Now, grind spinach and carrots separately into a smooth puree. This will add green and orange colour to the tricolour.
Prepare idli batter
Divide the fermented batter into three equal parts. Mix one part with orange, the second with green, and leave the third one as it is.
Steam the idli
Now take the idli mould and grease it with oil. Fill three different moulds separately with batter and steam it for 10 minutes.
Serve the idli
Once the idlis are cooked, arrange them in the Indian flag. Garnish with some mustard seeds and curry leaves. Serve it with coconut chutney and sambhar.
