विधि
- Steam the batter as mini idlis in a mini idli stand, 8-10 minutes.
- Dry-roast the dal, sesame seeds, curry leaves, and chilli (if using) separately in a dry pan on low heat until fragrant and crisp, a few minutes each.
- Cool slightly, then grind coarsely with hing and salt into a dry podi (spice powder) — this replaces the garlic a standard idli podi would use.
- Heat ghee in a wide pan on low heat. Add the steamed mini idlis and 2-3 tbsp of the podi. Toss gently until every idli is coated.
- Serve hot, extra podi on the side in an airtight jar for next time.
वैरिएशन: the roasted urad dal in the podi is a small quantity, but swap it for moong dal if he wants a fully urad-free day.
