Instant Sooji ki Idli

Instant Sooji ki Idli | Rava Idli

Rava Idli

Rava Idli (सूजी की इडली) is a soft, fluffy, spongy and popular idli. This is a quick, easy and simple recipe made with sooji (semolina), curd and eno. Traditional idli recipe needs soaking and grinding process of rice and lentils. Then this batter is fermented for 8-10 hours. This is a very lengthy process. But this instant rava idli recipe doesn’t follow these steps.

The batter of idli is made by just mixing sooji, curd, salt and leavening agent. Here I am using Eno as a leavening agent. Baking soda can be used in place of Eno. When we add the leavener, it reacts with curd and makes idli spongy and fluffy. This is a necessary process to make idli. Instant rava idli can be made with some variation by adding spices and vegetables.

These rava idli can be served with sambhar and coconut chutney. You can serve them in breakfast or pack in lunchbox. I have already shared the recipe of sambhar and coconut chutney in earlier post.

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: South Indian
Prep. Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serving: 4

Ingredients:

2 cup Sooji (semolina or rava)
3/4 cup Curd (yogurt)
Salt to taste
1½ cup water
1.5 tsp. Eno

Instructions:

Take sooji, curd and salt in a bowl.

Add water and mix properly. Combine well to make lump free batter.

Cover and leave it for 20 minutes. Sooji will absorb water.
After 20 minutes if required add more water to make batter consistency.

Grease idli plates and boil water in steamer.
Add Eno and mix quickly.

Do not over mix the batter otherwise air bubbles will escape making idli hard.

Pour the batter in idli plates.
Place them in steamer.

Cover with lid and steam cook for 10-15 minutes.
After that insert knife or toothpick to check that it has done.

Cool slightly and remove idli with a spoon.
Serve hot.

Tips:

You may add baking powder in place of Eno.
Do not over fill the idli plate as idli will rise on cooking.
Do not skip curd.
Add Eno just before steaming them.

Sabut Masoor Ki Dal | Whole Masoor Dal

Sabut Masoor Dal (Whole brown lentil) is a popular dal variety of Indian cuisine. This whole lentil curry is delicious, flavorful and easy to make. Sabut Masoor have a brown- black skin leading to this dal popularly being known as kaali dal. This is one of the healthiest and classic dal of main course as considered as a good source of protein and has a high nutrition profile. This is one of my favourite dal. This Dal is usually has a medium to thick consistency and it gets even thicker and creamier as it cools down. Whole lentils have high fibres and take too much time to cook so soak them for 30 minutes before cooking and then cook in a pressure cooker. Then you can temper this with onion tomato or only heeng jeera. You can give some flavor by adding garam masala and amchoor powder that you prefer. Serve this dal with steamed or jeera rice with roti. Masoor dal gives a great taste with rice. Course : Main course Cuisine : North Indian Prep Time : 5 minutes Cook Time : 30...
