Rava Idli


Rava Idli  (semolina idli) is an instant and easy fix for breakfast, as there is no soaking,grinding or fermentation.This is a specialty of Karnataka and part of the menu in Udupi restaurants. It is healthy and quite filling and tastes delicious with chutney and sambar.

Ingredients
Rava or Semolina- 2 cup
Yogurt - 3/4 cup
Carrot- 1 medium
Chana Dal- 2 tsp
Urad Dal- 2 tsp
Chopped ginger- 1 tsp
Green chilly- 2
asafoetida - a pinch
Curry leaves- a few
Baking soda- a pinch
Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
Oil- 2 tsp


Dry roast rava till it attains a nice aroma. Allow to cool a minute and soak for half an hour in 2 1/2 cups of water.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and when it splutters add chana dal and fry for a minute, followed by urud dal, ginger, chilly, curry leaves and asafoetida and chopped carrot and fry for a minute. Allow this to cool.
Add yogurt into the soaked rava along with this fried mixture. Do not add much water. The consistency should be a little more thick than idli batter.Add salt and baking soda and pour into greased idli maker dish and steam for 8-10 minutes. To check whether it is cooked wet the tip of your finger and gently touch the idli. If it does not stick to your finger then it is done. Serve warm with chutney or sambar.

Try this..
Hope you will enjoy..

    Suja,I am in love with the word,,"idli" be it rava,rice or oats,I am a die hard fan of idli's as a matter of fact even though I am a north Indian I always craved for all the food from south :)I make these but never used carrots,the carrot adds more character to the idli with its vibrant color. Love the sambar too...*drools*
