Just a trial -- For a change

After the last post, I felt I need to try something new for the breakfast. Again something easy and primarily needs to be approved by my hubby. So came with the idea of Rava idly. Waiting for the weekend, I decided to try it out. I had some rice idly batter in my fridge as a back-up, in case my rava idly doesn’t come out good. But fortunately, it came out well and was approved by the taste buds of my better half.

Rava Idly:

Ingredients:

Sooji/Rava                                       --  2 cups

Vegetables (carrot, beans etc)        --  as required

Green chillies                                  --  4 or 5

Ginger                                            --   1 inch piece

Curry leaves                                   --   few

Curd                                               --  1 cup

Baking soda                                   --  a pinch

Mustard seeds                                --  1 tsp

Urad dal                                        --  1 tsp

Asafoetida                                     --  ¼ tsp

Salt                                                --  to taste

Preparation of the idly:

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds and let crackle. Add urad dal and asafoetida. Add salt, chopped green chillies, ginger, and curry leaves. Then add rava and stir in low/medium flame until it turns light brown in colour. Add the chopped vegetables if required.

Place the mixture in a big bowl and add the baking soda and curd to the mixture. Mix well. This should be same as the idly batter consistency. Keep it aside for 30 minutes. If the mixture gets thickened, add more water or curd.

Pour the batter into idly maker and steam for 5 to 7 minutes in an idly cooker.
