Priya’s Rava Idly - Your Recipe Rocks
Last Tuesday I prepared Priya’s Rava (semolina) Idly for dinner. It’s so much easier than the traditional idli recipe which requires soaking of idli rice and urad daal, grinding them and then fermenting the batter. No doubt that the traditional idlies are soft and tasty, but rava idly is a quick fix breakfast/dinner. Even though I was born and raised in southern India, I have not tasted these earlier. We all loved the taste. It’s definitely going to be a regular in our house. Thanks for the recipe Priya. Your recipe rocks.
My Notes:
For the side dish I prepared coconut chutney. Always in my chutney I also add half a carrot, grated and lot of coriander (cilantro) reducing the quantity of coconut. As I have mentioned earlier in my Beet Greens Daal recipe, carrot is a very good substitute for coconut. Instead of grinding grated coconut, cumin, chillies for the masala for any kootu (daal) recipe, you can simply replace it with carrots.

Substituting carrot for coconut is a brilliant idea Madhuram. Will try it when I make Kootu.

Hetal, Uma, Cham, Siri, thank you very much.
Cham, Mamatha the carrot thing works like a charm. You won’t miss the coconut taste at all. Try it in your kootu also, you can totally omit the carrots.
Archy, welcome to my blog. I’m very glad you liked my site.
Thank you very much Sushma, Madhavi, Asha and Ranji.

Even though I am a great fan of Rava Idli, I can never get it right. I always end up sticking up with the MTR ready made mix. I hope I can atleast pull this recipe off

@RedChillies: This is my first experiment with Rava Idly, so I don’t have anything to comapre with. I felt that it was good only. Maybe I should try MTR and see if it has the same taste as this one.

Wow, they look delicious. I am so glad they turned out well. I just love them. They have so many veggies in them that I do not need chutney; of course if I have it, I would love to eat with it. thanks so much for trying it out.
