Today's plan for breakfast was rava idli and coriander chutney. Since my son loves this idli, once in a week I make this with some variations.
For a quick week night dinner or breakfast,this will be my choice as a complete meal can be prepared in under 30 minutes. This is a basic recipe I'm sharing here.You can make variations by adding grated carrots,coconuts, green peas , corn etc.
Ingredients
Fine rava/sooji.................. 1/2 cup
Yogurt ............................. 1/2 cup, preferably sour
mustard seeds ................ 1 tsp
Urad ............................... 1/2 tsp
Channa Dal ..................... 1/2 tsp
Cashews ......................... 10, broken into pieces
Coriander leaves ............. chopped, Handfull
Salt ................................ 3/4 tsp
Water .............................. 1 1/2 tbsp
Eno , unflavored fruit salt....1/2 tsp
Oil .................................... 1 1/2 tbsp+ few drops
Method
- Heat oil in a shallow pan and add mustard seeds, followed by urad, channa dal, cashews.
- Saute for 30 sec until the dals turn golden color.
- Add rava and roast for 2 minutes with constant stirring.
- The rava should not get burnt but it should have got roasted well.
- Take off the heat and let it cool for 3 minutes.
- Now add beaten yogurt, salt and coriander leaves and mix well.
- Grease the idli plates with oil and get your steamer ready by adding some water and heat it through.
- Now add eno to the batter along with water and mix quickly and pour it into moulds.
- Steam for 5 to 7 minutes.
Enjoy with a chutney of your choice.
Notes.
- After adding eno , do not let it stand for long time.
- Add vegetables like carrots, corn , peas, chopped greens to make it more healthier.
- If yogurt is not sour , squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon.
Thank you Prachi !
