- Take a pan or a Kadai, heat 1 tbsp oil and ½ tbsp ghee on a low flame, then add mustard seeds when they start to crackle, add cumin seeds, and hing. Sauté until the dal turns light brown, add curry leaves, dry red chilli, and cashew nuts sauté them for next 1 minute.
- Once it is done, turn off the flame and transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool for 9-10 minutes.
- Take a large bowl and prepare a mixture by adding yoghurt, finely chopped green chillies, grated ginger, and salt.
- Add 1 cup of water into the mixture. Mix it well and make sure there is no lump left.
- Add chopped coriander and grated carrot in the mixture and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes.
- Add Eno fruit salt in the idli recipe and stir it well. Mix all the prepared mixtures together and add them with the idli batter.
- Pour water in the steamer and heat over a medium flame—grease idli moulds/plates with oil.
- Pour the batter in grease moulds and steam it on a medium flame for 15-20 minutes.
- Once it is cooked, turn off the flame, remove moulds from the steamer when it is cool down a bit, remove the prepared idli and it is ready to be served with any chutney of your taste.
