This recipe is unique for me, I gave it a try and these mini idlis came out very well. I served coconut chutney with these idlis for breakfast. Thank you for sharing this healthy recipe.

like the spinach and moong dal idli that you already have on your site... even this is an interesting recipe .. and so simple to make... it just gives a great variation to the regular idlis... also making it healthy by adding spinach to it...
