Rava Idli

I always heard about Rava Idli but never tried before at home. But yesterday one of my friends called me for Tea, and she makes some awesome Rava Idli. How can I stop myself doing some experiment at home?

This time my elder sister shared her Rava Idli recipe with me. It’s quite an easy method but little different than rice Idli. Rice Idli batter is made only with rice and urad dal but Rava Idli  batter is made with lots of ingredients and the main one is Rava or Suji. Which is the main part of this Rava Idli.

I enjoyed my breakfast with the Idlis, try at home I am sure you also fall in love with them.

 
Preparation time: 10 mints.
Cooking time: 15 mints.

Ingredients:

1.Rava or Suji : 100 gm.
2.curd : 75 gm.
3.Finely chopped green chilies: One tea spoon.
4.Finely chopped carrots: One table spoon.
5.Grated ginger : Half tea spoon.
6.Few cashew nuts.
7.Salt and sugar as per taste.
8.One tea spoon ghee.
For Tempting:
1.Few mustard seeds.
2.Few Urad Dal.
3.Few Curry Leaves.
4.Oil one table spoon.
Process:

Fry cashew nuts and carrots in ghee and keep it aside.

Now add little ghee in a vessel and fry the Rava for some time (switch of the gas before they become brown).

 
Now in a bowl add the dry roast rava and curd mix well and add all other ingredients with little water. The batter should be thick than rice idli.

Now add oil in a vessel and add mustard seeds, curry leaves and urad dal fry for some time. Now add them into the Idli mixture.

Now grease the idli pan with little oil and place the fried cashew nuts and carrots and then pour the batter into them (approx. one table spoon for one idli).

Now cook them in medium heat for 15 mint.

Serve hot with any Chutney.

IDLI

Since my childhood I love south Indian foods, Specially Dosa, Idli and samber. After marriage we were in Chennai for some time and I used to have Idli from a restaurant almost all weekend. But never tried at home, only once I made it with help of my friend. But this time I tried to do it alone. The recipe is very easy but the main thing is the batter, if the batter is not good then your idlis will not be soft.

But anyhow with the help of some sites and definitely tips from my friend this time successfully I prepared Idli at home. And the good news is that they were just perfect. I feel so happy just like a big achievement. But the sad part is this my husband doesn’t like Idli so this time again for myself only. Enjoyed my lunch with Idli and coconut chutney.

Preparation time: 20 mints.
Cooking time: 15 mints.

Ingredients:

1.Raw rice or Sonamusuri rice: One cup.
2.Urad Dal: Half cup.
3.Salt as per taste.
4.Baking Soda.
5.Oil two table spoon
6.Idli stand.
Process:
Wash and soak Rice & Urad dal for 6 to 7 hr.

Now make a smooth batter with the soaked rice and dal with little water.

 

Now add baking soda and salt into the batter and keep this in a warm place for overnight.

Now before making the idlis add one table spoon of oil into the batter.

Greece the idli pan with little oil and add one big spoon of batter into each of the place. Steam the idlis into medium heat for 15 mints.

 

Enjoy your Idli with Chutny.
