Years ago, I have learned this recipe from my
friend. This is a nutritious idli as it contains black gram, green gram, pepper
and cumin seeds. Children always like this as it tastes better than the
ordinary idlies. Either tomato chutney or onion chutney is a suitable side dish
for this kudalai idli!
