If you are looking for instant idli/dosa recipes, one of the best breakfast items is the Rava Idli. There are several variations to this simple yet delicious and healthy idli recipe.
My mom makes this fairly regularly as it was our family favorite. I use all veggies in my fridge and grind them all in a chopper. My in-laws were pretty impressed when I first prepared this.
Ingredients-
2 Cups Semolina (Sooji or Bombay Rava)
2 Cups Buttermilk
2 Cups Vegetables (Carrots, Beans, Cabbage, Capsicum, Peas)
2 Green Chillies
2 Sprigs Cilantro
A few Curry leaves
A Small piece of Ginger
Seasoning (1 Tbsp Oil, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Chana Dal 2 tsp, Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp)
Salt as needed
Method Of Preparation -
Chop all the vegetables, cilantro, curry leaves, green chillies and ginger and set aside.
In a heated pan, add oil, mustard seeds, Chana dal and cumin seeds. After the mustard seeds pop and the dals brown, add the curry leaves and the chopped veggies from step 1.
Add rava (sooji) and saute along with the rest of the veggies.
Remove from heat and add the buttermilk to is along with some salt to make it into a thick batter.
Pour the batter into greased idli plates and let them steam for about 12 minutes in an idli cooker.
After they are done, allow them open to cool for about 5 minutes before taking them out.
Note : You could add more veggies like Onions, potatoes and even tomatoes to this. My mom adds some baking soda to this to make them a little more fluffier. Optionally, could coarse-grind and add a few nuts (cashews/peanuts/Almonds) to make it more nutritious. I also add some rice flour to the batter and use it to prepare Rava uthappams the next day.
