🥗Healthier: turmeric

💰Cheaper: ground ginger

Ground ginger is a cost-effective alternative with a similar flavor profile.

Soak 1 cup of green moong dal overnight in water.

Blend the soaked dal with 2-3 cloves of garlic, 2 green chilies, and 2 inches of ginger, adding about 1/4 cup of water to make a fine paste.

Transfer the batter to a large bowl and mix in finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and bell pepper.

Add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1/3 tsp coriander powder, 1/3 tsp cumin powder, salt to taste, and a pinch of baking soda or eno (optional).

Mix well and adjust the batter's thickness with water if necessary.

Grease idli molds with oil and fill them with the batter using a small spoon.

Steam the filled molds in a pot with boiling water for about 15 minutes on medium flame.

Check if the idlis are cooked by touching the top; if dry, they are done. Let them cool slightly before removing.

For tempering, heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, white sesame seeds, and curry leaves, and optionally add red chili powder.

Mix the tempering with the idli coins and serve, optionally garnished with lemon juice.
