Hi Everyone,
As I told you earlier Iam always little lazy to make
chapatis for dinner and breakfast so I always look into other options in making
breakfast and dinner.Mostly I will always have Idli , dosa batter in hand but
sometimes I will get struck without batter in such cases I will go for pasta ,
rava idlis , rice hoopers etc..
The main purpose of Sooji is Sooji upma but here in my home
no one likes upma so other than upma I make everything with sooji right from
ravaladoo , kesari , rava kozhukattai , Ravaidli etc etc….
This ravaidli is a main dish which you can make in 25 mins
, the taste is awesome when compared to upma.I
make this dish mostly for breakfast as it is so easy and easy to digest
too,Also as you are adding vegges and boiling in cooker it is healthy too.
Try it in home and you will also admit what I say,
SERVINGS : YIELDS ABOUT 15 IDLIS
INGREDIENTS :
Rava / Sooji – 1 cup
Thick Curd – ½ cup
Salt – as required
Oil – 3 tsp
Carrot ( grated ) – 1 medium sized
Channa dal – 1 tsp
Urad dal – 1 tsp
Curry leaves – a sprig
Coriander leaves – a bunch
Green chillies – 2 nos
Onion ( optional )
-1 no (I didn’t add)
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Water - as required
Cooking soda – 1/8 tsp
Mustard – ¼ tsp
Asafoetida – a pinch
PREPARATION :
1) Soak
channa dal in water for 10 mins.
2) Grate
carrot , chop green chillies and onions ( if using) , chop coriander leaves and
curry leaves too.
3) Heat
oil in a wide kadai followed by mustard , green chillies, soaked channa dal ,
urad dal , Curry leaves and saute till they turn to golden brown.
4) When
done add grated carrot,turmeric powder and fry till the raw smell leaves and
the carrot turns to pale colour.
5) Now
add Sooji and fry in low flame till aroma comes.Dont over fry the sooji to
avoid rava burning to bottom.
6) When
everything is fried remove from flame and let it cool to room temperature.
7) When
cooled add curd , salt ,coriander leaves and mix well , add water little by
little to bring the rava mixture to idli batter consistency.Finally add cooking
soda and mix well.
8) In
your idli pan pour each hole with a laddle full of batter and boil for 15 mins
in medium flame.
9) After
15 mins insert a knife in the middle of idli to make sure the knife comes out
clean.
10)
When the idlis are boiled ,remove from flame
and serve hot with any sidedish of your choice.
NOTES :
1) Use
thick curd to get yummy soft idlis.
2) Be
careful in adding water , too much of
water will spoil idli's texture.
3) Adding
carrot is optional but I insist to add it to get nice aroma and also it
eliminates rava smell.
4) Don’t
boil more tham 15 mins , too much of boiling makes idlis dry and also harder.
5) After
adding cooking soda , pour immediately to idli plates , don’t keep the batter
for long time after adding cooking soda.
6) You
can even add cashews but I skipped due to fat .
Yummy and easy to make rava idli !!! Well done !!!
