Rava Idly

rava idly..

Rava Idly a South Indian cuisine made using sooji/semolina/rava.An instant Idly that does not require any fermentation .Whenever I run out of rice idly batter and have some leftover curds I immediately make these Rava Idly for breakfast or dinner.
There are so many Instant Rava Idly mix available at the stores but the ones made at home using curd and quality rava yields super soft and fluffy Idlies.

TAKE CARE TIPS

You can add a generous pinch of baking soda instead of eno salt.

For a variation you can also add grated coconut,grated carrots or peas to the batter before steaming.

I did not add turmeric powder here in this recipe.
