    James’ joke: Why did the vegetable go to the computer? To get some bytes!

  2. Mix the spices: In a small bowl, mix turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala.

    James’ joke: Why did the spice go to school? To become a little seasoned!

  3. Stuff the idlis: Using your fingers, gently create a cavity in each idli. Fill the cavity with the mashed vegetables mixture.
