- 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions
Prepare the Rose Idli Batter
- Combine the idli batter, rose syrup, jaljeera powder, gulkand, salt, and carom seeds in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Incorporate the Leavening Agent
- Just before steaming, add the Eno fruit salt to the batter. Gently mix for about 30 seconds. Do not overmix.
Steam the Idlis
- Lightly grease an idli steamer or mold with butter. Pour the batter into the molds, filling them about ¾ full.
- Steam the idlis for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and firm to the touch.
Make the Tempering
- While the idlis are steaming, heat the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the black mustard seeds and carom seeds; allow them to splutter.
- Stir in the white sesame seeds and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Serve
- Once the idlis are cooked, carefully remove them from the steamer. Pour the tempering over the warm idlis.
- Serve immediately with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Khatti Meethi Rose Idlis
- For the best flavor, use freshly made idli batter. If using store-bought, ensure it's of good quality.
- Don't overmix the batter after adding the Eno fruit salt, as this can make the idlis tough.
- Adjust the amount of gulkand and jaljeera to your preference for sweetness and tartness.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cardamom powder to the tempering.
