Stuffed Masala Idly

Idly is a steam cooked breakfast item which is very healthy and nutritious.I make stuffed masala idly if  I need a change from regular idly and got this recipe from a cook book which came with the my wet grinder.It tastes delicious with coconut chutney or pudina chutney.

Serve it with chutney.

• Potato can be substituted with mixed veggies such as carrot, beans and green peas.
• Instead of making in idly plate,a small bowl can be used to make idly.
