Rava idli is a variation of the popular South Indian breakfast item, idli, made with rava(semolina) or Bombay rava



Main Ingredients 


3 cups of Suji Rawa (Bombay/Karachi/Semolina) Rawa

  2. When they start popping, add ginger paste, green chillies, channa dal ,finelychopped carrot,and allow them to splutter for sometime.
  3. add broken cashew nuts to the rawa (reduce flame else the cashews will over fry and looses color)
  4. Reduce the heat and immediately add rava, mix well.
  5. Add salt, coriander leaves  curd and mix well.

  8. add ENO fruit salt or Cooking soda just before pouring the batter into idli plates,stirr gently,you see the bubbles on batter.
  9. Smear the idli plates with a little oil  this will prevent the idlies from sticking to the surface
  10. and helps in easy clean-up.
  11. Keep one full cashew at the center of every cup and then pour the mixture on top ( so that, when the idlies are removed
  12. you can  see the cashew on the top in my above photo).
