A quick and easy breakfast option, if you have idli batter ready on hand. These nice-looking green idlis are full of the goodness of spinach, and have a semi-spicy twang too, thanks to the green chilli paste. Since they are made in a convenient mini format, you can even serve these Mini Spinach Idlis as a snack along with tea, with an array of colourful chutneys to add to the excitement. Or, you can serve in little bowls topped with chilled curds or steaming sambhar. Trust your imagination to come up with innovative serving options.

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...
