What Is Rava Idli?

You just have to mix the ingredients and steam the idli.

Instant rava idli is my all time favorite. It is especially an excellent option for quick breakfast. As this rava idli recipe is a no soak, grind and fermentation idli it gets ready in flat 15 minutes. It is yet another variation of the popular south Indian idli recipe.

To make this instant rava no soaking, grinding and fermentation is required. You just mix up all the things and make idlis immediately. These are one easy yet wholesome breakfast for toddlers and kids also. Use very good quality fine sooji or rava for rava idli recipe.

In this rava idli recipe I have not added any vegetables. You can easily add grated carrots and finely chopped capsicum or boiled green peas while making tempering for rava idli.

For making instant rava idli we need semolina or rava, curd or plain yogurt, fruit salt (eno) and salt. A tempering or tadka of Indian spices is added to the rava idli batter before steaming. While I just started to cook I used to make these idlis with little success. Over the years I tried many times and arrived at this tried and tested best rava idli recipe.

Variations and tips for making rava idli recipe:

1. You can make this idli without fruit salt also. You can mix 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon lemon juice and use it in place of eno fruit salt.

2. You can also make masala rava idli by adding a quick onion-vegetable masala

3. One very important tip to follow while making rava idli is to use really sour curd. As we are not fermenting the batter it is a must to use sour curd.

Serve rava idli with any chutney and sambar.
