Ingredients

1 cup - urad dal
Rice kanaki(small broken rice) or idli rawa - 3 cups
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 teaspoon, for greasing moulds
Yellow food color - 1 pinch
Carrot puree - 1 small cup
Spinach/palak puree - 1 small cup

Instructions

Wash and soak rice and dal for 2-3 hours. Grind into a smooth thick batter using water. Add salt. Cover and rest it for 6-8 hours for fermentation. The duration may vary depending on climate. During cold and winters, time required to ferment is more than warm places and summers. Do not make the batter too runny.
Make 3 portions of the idli batter.
In one portion add the spinach puree and mix it to the fermented batter. In another portion, add the carrot puree/yellow food color to the batter and mix well. Let the third portion of batter be as it is.
Grease idli moulds and add the different batters to separate plates. Steam cook them as you normally do for idlies. After 5-7 mins your idlies are ready.
Tricolor idli is ready. Serve hot with coconut chutney or green chutney or any other chutney, sambhar etc as per your choice.

I am a housewife passionate towards cooking variety vegeterian food. Since I love change in the food regularly, I keep experimenting and innovating the daily food with simple twists so that they look different and maintain the taste. Variation in look, taste and preperation is my mantra in day to day cooking.
