Instant Rava idli

The mixer is not working.. Fed up of preparing only rice items from 3 days.. No dose no idli.. No sambar no chutney.. What to prepare for breakfast ? Ohh !! rava Idli.. No grinding is required :)
 It can be served with sagu .. No need for chatni / sambar :)

The traditional rava idli preparation (Brief recipe)  involves much preparation/work. Like grinding urdu dal & keeping it for 5-6 hours for fermentation. And steaming the small rava, then mixing with grinded urdu dal.
Later the batter is cooked in Idli moulds.

This rava idli recipe is very simple & instant one. But the rava size used for this recipe is bigger sized rava.
If the curd used is sour one, Idli will turn out to be little sour.

Ingredients:

Idli Rava (Rave)  :2 Cups
Curd : 3 Cups
Salt : According to taste
Onion : 1 No
Carrot : 1 No
Green leaves( Coriander leaves / Dill leaves ) : 1/2 Cup
Coriander powder : 1 Spoon
Cumin Powder : 1/2 spoon
Chilli powder : Acoording to taste
Any other spice mix : 1 spoon (Optional)
Cooking oil :1/2 cup
Mustard seeds : 1 Spoon
Channa dal : 1 Spoon
Curry Leaves

Method :

1. Heat 1 spoon of oil in tawa , add mustard & channa dal seeds. Once they splutter, add curry leaves & saute. switch off the stove.
2. Chop onions , grate carrots, chop green leaves , add to above seasoning. 
3. Add rava and all spice mix (Coriander powder, cumin powder, any other spice mix, chilli powder). Mix well.
4. Add curd & mix properly. If the rava mix batter becomes too thick, add little water and adjust the consistency. 
5. Add remaining oil & salt to the batter & mix properly.
6. Put spoonful of batter to idli mould, steam them for about 15-20 minutes.
7. Serve hot with sagu.

Note :

• You can use green chillies instead of chilli powder.
• Once the batter is ready, cook immediately. Otherwise rava will absorb all water content from the batter & you need to add again water/curd to get required consistency.
• Since I was running out of green leaves, hence not used in these idlies.
• Use bigger sized rava. i.e Idli rava only.
