Tricolor Idli or tiranga idli is the new twist to the traditional idli. For making these idlis,add different colour puree paste to the idli batter. Here I use spinach puree and carrot puree to give the color of our national flag  to celebrate our Independence Day. Tricolor Idli recipe is perfect for breakfast as well as for tea time snack. The best thing which I like about tricolor idli is it’s attractive color and light on stomach and easy to digest. Tricolor idli is so healthy and nutritious that everyone loves it.
