Grated coconut                                                                                              2 tbsp

Asafoetida                                                                                                    A pinch

Coconut oil                                                                                               As required

Curry leaves                                                                                                A sprig

Mustard seeds (optional)                                                                              1 tsp

Preparation

Take a kadai, heat oil, add mustard seeds and when it splutters, add asafoetida powder, green chillies (chopped), onion (chopped), ginger (chopped), and saute well till it turns golden brown colour.

Take idli batter in a bowl and add the above ones to it and mix well. Add grated coconut(optional). Check for salt.

Take an appachatti (i used non-stick)

 

Add 1/4 tsp of coconut oil to each moulds, when it starts boiling, pour one tbsp of the batter into each one.

Turn both sides till it becomes light brown colour. Mmmm... the aroma of the coconut oil.. it gives u a really tasty vethappam.. :-)

Make it a day after keeping the batter for two days... or left over batter.. if the batter becomes little bit sour in taste, it gives more taste !! Have it with coconut chammanthy or chutney :-P
