Traditional idlis get a facelift with this exciting spinach stuffing! A flavourful and colourful mixture of spinach and onions is cooked between layers of idli batter to make a spongy, tasty delight that combines beautifully with chutney and sambhar. Make sure the spinach mixture is completely cool before steaming it; otherwise it might get soggy and spoil the texture of the Stuffed Spinach Idli. Enjoy this delicacy hot and fresh, for a memorable breakfast!

Spinach idli bar, its a yummy recipe with palak stuffing, a variation in regular idli. The combination is really very good, i served this idli with tomato onion chutney, which i enjoyed the most.
