Rava Idli

Rava idli is one of the easy quickly prepared tiffin, in case we don't have the usual idli dough. It is also tastier and different from normal idli. I guess, it compensates the traditional idlis for the bachelors.

Ingredients:

• Rava- 2 cups
• Curd- 1 cup
• Water- 1 cup
• Green chillies-2
• Ginger- 1 inch
• Garlic- 5
• Grated coconut - 2 tablespoon
• Grated carrot- 3 tablespoon
• Soda salt - 1 teaspoon
• Salt

For seasoning:

• Oil -2 tablespoon
• Mustard- 2 teaspoon
• Urad dal- 2 teaspoon
• Channa dal - 2 teaspoon
• Red chilli - 1
• Asafoetida- pinch
• Curry leaves

• 

Method:

• Mix a cup of curd with a cup of water and add the chopped green chillies, ginger garlic paste, grated coconut, grated carrot, salt and keep it aside.
• Heat oil in pan and add all the seasoning items one by one.
• After the items have been fried to golden brown, add the rava.
• Fry the rava in medium heat evenly till the raw smell goes off.
• Now mix the fried items with curd to which the other ingredients are added.
• Add little water if needed. Take care that the consistency is like that adai dosa(thicker than usual idli dough)
• Finally dont forget to add the soda salt before cooking.
• Soda salt should be added only before cooking.
• Grease the idli plates and pour the dough in it.
• Cook it in steam for approximately 12- 14 minutes. (or in microwave for 8-9 minutes)
• Can also be garnished with cashews and carrots before steaming.
