 #BeetrootIdli BeetrootRavaIdli #BeetrootBreadIdli #InstantBreakfast #HealthyBreakfastRecipe #ChukandarIdli #HalloweenPartyRecipe #LunchBoxRecipe  #BreakfastRecipe #SnacksRecipe #KidsFriendlyRecipe #AaichiSavali

Hello Everyone,
      These airy, soft and colorful, fresh idlis, right out of the steamer are truly irresistible.

They are healthy, nutritious and easy to digest. So the addition of beetroot although not traditional does make it even healthier. I had grated beetroot and added into the batter; you can steam beetroot and then pureed them in the blender. You could also use other vegetables too, like spinach, carrots, cauliflower.  They colored the batter in very vibrant shades, especially the beetroot which upon steaming, took on a gorgeous dusty hue with a very understated flavor. I have also tossed them in a traditional seasoning of cumin and mustard seeds along with green chilies.
         It's a Halloween time here, so prepared these idlis to kick off a Halloween bash with this bloody red, deliciously gory beetroot Idlis. Serving this spooky, bloody red Idlis, these are damn good at scaring Halloween party guests. Have a Happy Halloween!

Preparation Time : 10 Minutes ; Cooking Time : 15 Minutes.

6. Coriander leaves ¼ cup
7. Olive. Oil 1 tbsp
8. Cumin seeds 1 tsp
9. Mustard Seeds 1 tsp

Recipe :

To Make Batter :

2. Now, in a bowl add bread crumbs, rava/sooji, curd and some water mix well and make idli batter consistency.
3. Now, add salt, coriander leaves and grated beetroot mix all well and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
   
4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a kadai, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and green chillies allow them to splutter and add this to prepared batter.
5. After 15 minutes, to the batter give a good mix, add water if required.

• You can add other veggies too instead of beetroot or with beetroot.
• If beetroot is not available, you can use Beet root powder.
