Rava Idli- Quick,easy and Instant Idli made with semolina and yogurt, a Tiffin recipe from Southern India
Idli is a popular breakfast or tiffin item from Southern India.Normally Idli is made with rice and white lentil,which are soaked ,ground and fermented before making ,this is the traditional way of making Idli. But you can not make these Idli instantly but this rava idli is Instant quick and easy to make. When ever I want to make some thing light for dinner or a quick breakfast or tiffin then these soft and fluffy rava Idli first came in my mind.
Now my family prefer these rave Idlis then the regular rice Idli Recipe. These rava Idlis are not only easy to make but they are light to digest too . Adding tempering is optional in rava idli but the flavor of tempering and the roasted cashew enhance the taste of rava Idli so highly recommended.
As the batter is not left for fermenting so addition of Eno fruit salt is a must for making them soft and fluffy and can't be avoided. If you not have Eno in your pantry then can use soda bi carb instead (1/2 quantity of eno)
You can serve these Idlis with Coconut chutney, Tomato chutney , or with Vegetable Sambhar. My daughter loves these rava Idli smeared with melted ghee and .These soft pillowy Rava Idlies goes well with just every thing.
You can make rava idli with fine or coarse rava both the varieties, but the coarse variety need some extra soaking time as compared to fine rava. You can also add some grated or finely chopped vegetables of your choice in the Idli batter to make them more healthier and colourful.
These rava Idlis stays fresh and soft for a long time so a good lunch box item. you can sprinkle little water over the Idli and heat in microwave to make them fresh and hot again.
Now so many ready to make Idli mixes are available in the market but they have preservatives and the quality and freshness is not guaranteed. I have also posted the recipe of making your own - Instant Rava Upma Mix which can be used to make fresh instant and Idli both.
