1 teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Green chilies
2 tbsp Coriander leaves

Tips
Soaking Time: Soak poha for just 10 minutes to retain its nutrients.
Add Veggies: Feel free to add grated carrots or peas for extra flavor and nutrition.

Combine Ingredients: Add the soaked poha, yogurt, ginger, green chilies, and chopped coriander leaves to the semolina mixture. Mix until well combined.
Adjust Consistency: Gradually add water until you achieve a batter-like consistency. It should be thick but pourable.
Prepare Steamer: Grease the idli mold with oil and fill each cavity with the batter.
Steam Idlis: Place the filled mold in the steamer and cover. Steam for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Serve Hot: Remove the idlis from the mold and serve warm with coconut chutney or sambar.
