RAVA IDLI RECIPE| INSTANT RAVA IDLY RECIPE

Rawa idli is a quicker and easier idli recipe made from Rawa or Sooji. This is a very easy recipe and can be tried by bachelors or act as a quick fix recipe for school lunch box as it does not require any fermentation or grinding. I have not been a great fan of Rava idli, until I tried making it last year when our relatives visited us. I wanted to break the monotony of the usual idli variety and tried making Rava idli from Raks. Both me and my guests we happy with the soft and spongy rawa idlis. We enjoyed it a lot. I decided to post this recipe when I made it once again recently. This measurement yields approximately 4-5 Rava idlis. Potato masala is a perfect accompaniment to rava idli along with different chutney varieites. Oats idlis and poha idlis  are also other tasty idli varieties.
