Prepare the Idli Batter:
Begin by ensuring the idli batter is ready. You can either use store-bought idli batter or make your own with this [Homemade Idli Dosa Batter Recipe](link to recipe). -
Make the Pumpkin Puree:
In a pressure cooker, add the cubed pumpkin with 1/4 cup of water. Close the lid and pressure cook for 2 whistles. Turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally. Once cooled, open the pressure cooker and transfer the pumpkin and any remaining water into a mixer jar. Grind into a smooth puree without adding additional water. -
Combine the Ingredients:
Transfer the pumpkin puree into a mixing bowl. Add the grated carrots and idli batter. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined. -
Steam the Idlis:
Preheat an idli steamer with water and grease the idli plates generously with oil or ghee. Pour a ladle of batter into each cavity of the plates, ensuring each one is filled evenly. Place the plates in the steamer and steam for 10-12 minutes. After 12 minutes, insert a greased knife into the idli. If it comes out clean, turn off the flame and carefully remove the idli plates from the steamer. Let the idlis cool for a couple of minutes before de-molding them. -
Serve:
Drizzle the Healthy Pumpkin Carrot Idli with ghee and serve piping hot. Enjoy this nutritious idli with Coconut Chutney, Karnataka Style Ranjaka (Red Chili Chutney), and Tomato Upma for a complete South Indian breakfast. Finish off with a warm cup of South Indian Filter Coffee to round off your meal.
