Oil- 1 1/4 Tbsp (For Tempering and Greasing)
Mustard Seeds ( Rai / Sarson)- 1/2 Tbsp

Method of Preparation:
Take a bowl and add semolina, curd, coriander, salt and 1 cup of water and mix well. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
Take a small non-stick pan and heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add urad dal and asafetida and sauté on a medium flame for ½ minute or till the urad dal turns brown. Add cashew nuts, green chilies, curry leaves and sauté for 30 seconds. Add this tempering to the batter and mix well.
Add fruit salt to the batter of semolina and mix it but be careful as to mix fruit salt only by moving your mixing spoon in one direction. Grease the idli moulds with oil and pour 2 tbsp of the batter into each idli mould. Do not over pour as idlis are supposed to rise when cooked. Boil about ¾ glass of water in the steamer before putting the idlis. Cook in a steamer for 5 to 8 minutes. Serve hot with coconut chutney or tomato ketchup.
