Ingredients
- 2 cups Vaidyam Classic Idli/Dosa Batter
- 2 tbsp Vaidyam A2 Ghee (for tossing)
- The Dustings: Vaidyam Gunpowder (Podi), Malabar Pepper, and Turmeric-Lemon seasoning.
- The Accents: Fresh pomegranate seeds, micro-cilantro, and Vaidyam Cold-Pressed Oil.
- Dips: White Coconut Chutney and Spicy Tomato-Garlic Dip.
Method
The Base:
Steam a batch of mini-idlis using the Vaidyam Classic Batter. Once finished, allow them to rest for 2 minutes so they maintain their firm, "button" shape.
The Saute:
Heat a pan with Vaidyam A2 Ghee. Lightly toss the mini-idlis until they develop a subtle, golden sheen. Divide them into three equal portions in separate bowls.
The Triple Flavor Toss:
- Bowl 1: Toss with Vaidyam Gunpowder and a drop of Cold-Pressed Oil.
- Bowl 2: Toss with crushed Malabar Pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
- Bowl 3: Toss with Turmeric, roasted Cumin, and a squeeze of fresh Lemon.
The Arrangement:
Use a large wooden or marble board. Place your dips in the center in small ceramic bowls. Cluster the three different flavored idlis around the dips in distinct groups.
The Garnish:
Scatter pomegranate seeds and micro-cilantro across the board. The contrast of the green herbs and red seeds against the spiced idlis creates a high-end, "Pinterest-ready" look.
The Serve:
Provide small bamboo skewers for guests. This grazing board pairs beautifully with a chilled, herb-infused cooler or a light evening tea.
