Rava idly/Instant Rava Idly


Today is the final day of Blogging Marathon for this week and the letter is R for cooking with alphabets.So I made rava idly and this version sounds so simple and easy to make.
 I used eno fruit salt to get the idly fluffy and soft.Here I used roasted vermicelli also along with the rava(semolina)
Though we like this idly a lot it rarely appears in my kitchen.After the themes were announced,I was happy to see the letter R so that I can make it for blog in steam cooking method.Off to the recipe..................

  • Don't keep the batter for a long time after adding the eno fruit salt,steam it right away to get a nice fluffy idly.
  • Here I used slightly sour yogurt to get a nice tangy taste.
  • If the batter is too thick add little more water to adjust the consistency.
  • If the batter is too thin also,the idly doesn't comes out good.
