Method

Clean Varai. Then soak in warm water for atleast 3-4 hrs. Then add curd, cumin seeds, green chilies, salt and blend in blender to make a paste. Keep this batter for fermentation for 2 hrs. (If you like the khatta taste u can keep it longer). Grease mini idli patra with oil, pour idli batter, steam for 15 min. Serve hot with coconut chutney.

The idlis will not be spongy as rice idlis because we do not add poha or urad daal.
