Cashew nuts(slit into 2 parts) - 5 to 6 pieces (optional)
Salt to taste
Red Chili Powder
Pinch of garam masala

Instructions

Cut and Wash the spinach leaves properly and keep it aside.
Blanch them in hot water for 3 minutes. When cool, puree them into a grinder.
Transfer the spinach puree into a idli batter bowl, add the salt, red chilli powder, pinch of garam masala and mix well.
Grease the idli moulds using oil, put spoonfuls of the batter into idli moulds, add a piece of cashew nut on top of batter and
steam in a cooker or steamer for 10 to 12 minutes or till the idli's are cooked. I have used my prestige pressure cooker for steaming the idli.
Cool slightly, de-mould the idli's with the help of spoon and soft side of knife.
Serve immediately with healthy roasted chana dal & coconut chutney or with juice or enjoy with tea or coffee !!
