Till date I've made Rava Idli's with the ready made MTR mix that is available in the stores. This time around, I decided to try making the batter myself based on a recipe I'd read earlier in some blog. So here is how I made it.
Ingredients
- Rava (Semilona) - 1 cup
- Onion - 1
- Green Chilly - 2
- Curry Leaves - 1 sprig
- Corriander Leaves - 1 small bunch
- Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
- Split Urud Dal - 1 tsp
- Channa Dal - 1 tsp
- Cashew nuts - 2 tbsp
- Oil - 1 tbsp
- Curd (Yogurt)- 200 ml (maybe lesser, ensure the batter is not too thick or too watery)
- Salt - to taste
- Heat oil in a pan.
Splutter mustards, urud dal and channa dal.- When cooked, add curry leaves and finely chopped green chillies.
- Add finely chopped onions and fry till translucent.
- Add cashew nuts and fry them till brown.
- Add the rava and roast till it starts browning.
- Add corriander leaves and remove.
- Let it cool. Add curd (yogurt) and mix well till the batter is in a slightly thick consistency.
- Ensure the batter does not run too much, else idli's will not get cooked.
- Set this batter for 60-90 minutes.
- Steam in your regular idli cooker for 15-20 minutes (depends on the type of cooker you have).
- Garnish with shredded carrots and serve with Chutney.
