Rava Idli

Rava Idli is a specialty breakfast item  from the southern state of India "Karnataka",  which is a nice variation to the regular Idlis. When served hot with a drop of ghee drizzled ,there is nothing to beat this.

Prep Time: 45 mins
Ingredients
Rava/Semolina: 2 cups
Yogurt: 1 1/2 cups
Eno Fruit salt: 1 tablespoon

Ginger (chopped): 1 teaspoon
Green chillies (chopped): 3-4
Grated carrots: 1/4 cup
Hing/Asofoetida: a pinch
Mustard seeds: 1 teaspoon
Urad dal: 1 teaspoon
Dried red chillies: 2-3
Curry leaves: few
Cilantro (optional): 2 sprigs
Salt to taste

*   The basic tempering can be changed to your liking. Some people also like to add a teaspoon of chana dal and even few chopped tomatoes.
Mix the rava with the yogurt nicely and keep aside for 15-20 mins. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan, add hing, splutter the mustard seeds, urad dal, dried red chillies, curry leaves. Add the chopped chillies, ginger and  grated carrot. Stir for 2-3 mins. Turn off the heat and mix well. Add salt and the pan mixture into the rava-yogurt batter. Mix well. Add the eno fruit salt in the end. It will fizz up. Give a thorough mix before the batter settles down. Scoop into the Idli moulds. Steam in the idli cooker for about 15 mins. 

Take them out once slightly cooled. Enjoy it plain or with any chutney on the side.

  16. A doubt about the eno fruit salt used. the ones i have seen is either lemon, mosambi or orange flavoured. which one should i use for this recipe? i dont know, whether we get unflavored eno. pls guide.

  17. Instead of the eno fruit salt is there any other alternative?

    ReplyDelete
  18. @Anonymous: So sorry about the delayed response. Well, we used the lemon flavored eno fruit salt since we had that available at home. It didn't bring any significant difference in the taste. We don't know/tried any other alternative.
