INGREDIENTS
Semolina/rava/sooji – 1 cup
Curd/yoghurt – 1 cup
Carrot – 1 (medium sized) (chopped finely)
Onion – 1 (chopped finely)
Tomato – 1 (chopped finely)
Green chillies – 2 (chopped finely)
Salt to taste
Few coriander leaves chopped finely
Baking soda – 1/4 teaspoon
HOW TO MAKE/PREPARE VEGETABLE RAVA IDLI RECIPE
Take a mixing bowl. Add rava and curd and whisk well. Whisk the batter well and ensure that no lumps are formed.
Add all the chopped vegetables, green chillies, coriander leaves and salt and mix well. Add water little by little and make a batter which is of medium consistency, neither too thick nor too thin consistency. The consistency of the rava idli batter should be similar to that of traditional idli batter. Leave the batter aside for 15-20 minutes.
Then add baking soda to the batter and mix well.
Grease the idli mould with little oil and pour the mixture in each blocks. Steam cook for 8-10 minutes with the help of a idli cooker. Once done, let it cool down completely. Remove the idlis with a spoon or a fork.
Serve vegetable rava idli hot with coconut chutney or sambar or any other chutney of your choice.
NOTES/TIPS
- After adding baking soda, make the idlis immediately.
- If you are using a pressure cooker, then steam cook without the whistle for 8-10 minutes.
- You can also season the mixture with mustard seeds and cashewnuts.
- You can add more vegetables like capsicum or green peas or grated cauliflower for a more healthier version.
- I have prepared rava idlis in a microwave. If you are using a microwave then use the plastic microwave idli stand and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
