Idli with Hyacinth Bean Masala Gravy is an incredibly delicious and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

The main ingredients in this dish are idli, which are small, round, steamed cakes made from rice and lentils, and hyacinth bean masala gravy, which is a flavorful blend of spices and vegetables. This dish is usually served with ghee.

The Hyacinth Bean is a type of legume that is high in protein and fibre and low in fat and carbohydrates. It is a great source of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6. It also contains high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, making it a great addition to any diet.

To make idli with Hyacinth Bean Masala Gravy, you will first need to prepare the Hyacinth Bean Masala Gravy. This is usually made by simmering a mixture of onions, garlic, ginger, and spices in oil until the onions are soft. Then, the hyacinth bean with potato is added and cooked until it is tender. The preparation took some time, but it was a very tasty choice. because this hyacinth bean is not available through out the year. Only from December to February's end do we get them; after that, we don't. At the same time, removing the outer layer of seed took a huge amount of time. After handling all these ingredients, I prepare this recipe for my family's needs.

Once the gravy is ready, it is time to prepare the idlis. The traditional way to make idli involves mixing ground rice and lentils with water, salt, and a special ingredient known as poha, which is a type of flattened rice. This mixture is then steamed in idli moulds until it is cooked through.

Once the idli is cooked, it can be served with the delicious Hyacinth Bean Masala gravy. The flavour of the gravy is enhanced by adding coconut, cilantro, and other spices if desired. Both combinations give the dish an amazing taste.

For preparing this recipe, we need at least Rs 120 for the needs of 3 people. It's around 7.38 STEEM.

In our family, we have three ladies because I am living in combined family: me, my mother-in-law, and my co-sister. So we will all share our work. Like one person chops vegetables, another prepares the needed ingredients, and one person starts preparing the dish. By joining and sharing our work, we prepare our recipes. Here I Cont say who is main cook is in my home. We all do our work by sharing.Most Sodcial dishes prepare by Me 😏.

Mixed vegetables can be a great choice for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious meal. They are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that are essential for a balanced and healthy diet. Additionally, mixed vegetables can be cooked in a variety of ways, making them convenient and versatile.

Mixed vegetables can be a great addition to any meal, providing a delicious, healthy, and nutritious option that can easily be included in your daily food diary. That's why I always try to cook different veggies for our daily needs. Mainly, I always try to consume seasonal vegetables; I don't skip those at any cost.
