Add the carrots, cabbage, ginger-green chilli paste, besan, coriander and salt and mix well.
Sprinkle the fruit salt on it and then a few drops of water on the fruit salt.
When the bubbles form, mix gently.
Pour the mixture gently into greased idli moulds and steam in a steamer for 10 to 12 minutes till they are done.
