This idli breaks all stereotypical notions that we usually have about idli – it is not made of rice and urad, it does not require fermentation, yet it is super tasty!

Two off-beat ingredients – chola dal and palak form the base of this tasty idli, which gains some additional flavour from ingredients like ginger, green chillies and lemon juice. A dash of fruit salt enables you to cook the batter immediately without requiring any fermentation.

This no-fuss recipe does not require much preparatory work – just plan ahead and soak the chola dal, that’s all. Together with chutney and sambhar, the Palak Chola Dal Idli makes a wonderful breakfast.

You can also try other recipes like Poha Dhokla and Sevaiyan Upma for breakfast.

These idlis made with spinach and chola dal were so tasty and soft and fluffy, I enjoyed every bite of it with sambhar and coconut chutney, truly a unusual recipe.
