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.

@Priya: Thank you very much for the recipe. This was the first time I tried it and it came out very well.

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.

@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.

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
