INGREDIENTS

METHOD

• Add 100 grams of fermented curd to 1 cup of Rava Idli mix to make a smooth, lump-free batter.
• Keep aside for 2-3 minutes, add little water, and mix well, if required.
• Add ½ cup of fermented curd, chopped coriander leaves, and mix with the batter.
• Grease the idli plates with vegetable oil and pour the batter into it.
• Steam idli for 12-14 minutes and check if it is done. You can insert a toothpick into the idli plate to check the doneness. If it comes out clean then the idli is cooked perfectly.
• Cool for 2 minutes, and remove the idli from the plates.
• Top hot idlis with ghee and serve hot.
• In step 3, you can add finely chopped carrots, cabbage, and beans to the mixture, along with chopped coriander leaves.
