Drain the water and grind the soaked mixture to a smooth batter using a blender. Add water as needed.
Add salt to taste and mix well. Set the batter aside for 30 minutes to ferment.
In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped onion and green chili and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
Add chopped spinach, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 4-5 minutes until the spinach has wilted and is cooked.
Grease the idli plates with a few drops of oil. Pour a spoonful of batter into each idli mold.
