Serving Size: 5-6

Grind green peas, coriander leaves, green chilis, and 2 tbsp water into a fine paste. 

Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, chopped curry leaves, and ginger paste. Roast for a few seconds.

Add the rawa to the pan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until the rawa turns aromatic. Add salt and mix well. 

Allow the mixture to cool completely. Add the grated carrot, green peas paste and yogurt. Add 1/2 water to attain a thick but pouring consistency. Rest the mixture for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile grease the idly moulds. Add baking soda mixed with lemon juice to the batter. Pour the batter into the moulds and steam in a pre-heated steamer for 12-15 minutes on high heat.

Let the idlys cool slightly before removing from the moulds. Serve green peas idly with coconut chutney.
