विधि

  1. Squeeze the grated lauki firmly to remove excess water — a wet vegetable will make the idli dense and undercooked in the centre.
  2. Fold lauki, carrot, coriander, cumin, hing, and salt into the fermented batter. Mix gently, don't overmix.
  3. Pour into greased idli moulds immediately.
  4. Steam 12-14 minutes on medium heat — a couple of minutes longer than plain idli, since the vegetables add moisture.
  5. Test with a toothpick in the centre; it should come out clean.
  6. Rest 2 minutes before unmoulding. Serve warm.
वैरिएशन: grated cauliflower can replace the carrot, capped at about 75 g per serving per his usual limit, if he wants variety.
