Cooking Steps
Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped green chilies, asafoetida, and curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the finely chopped mixed vegetables and add salt. Cook for a couple of minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender. Remove from heat. (You can add raw and grated vegetables to the batter)
Grease a small idli plate with a little oil.
Add the cooked vegetables to the idli batter and mix well.
Pour the batter into the greased idli plate or cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
