Grease a steel plate and pour a small ladle of the green batter first
Followed by the white,
Yellow and
Red batter or as you wish.
With a toothpick draw lines from the middle to the edge of the steamed idli cake or vice versa for some beautiful pattern.
Steam for 13-15 minutes. When it cools down, run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Then gently demould the cake. Serve this delicious creation with coconut chutney and sambar.
