Rava Idli | Instant Rava Idli Recipe is an easy breakfast recipe made using Rava (Sooji). It is very easier to make than the conventional Idli which requires soaking, grinding and fermenting. It is the instant breakfast variety we can do and get more appreciations from our family. We will be using the Rava (Sooji) and Yogurt as the main ingredient to make this recipe. We also need to add Baking Soda or Eno Salt to get the softer Idli. The conventional Idli batter will be fermented overnight and so they will be soft by themselves. On the other hand, this Rava Idli is instant so just adding 1/4 teaspoon of soda salt (or) 1 teaspoon of Eno salt will give fluffiness to the Idli

Serve the hot Instant Rava Idli  with Sambar, Chutney Powder and any Chutneys

Tips for making Rava Idli

  1. Coarse rava is recommended for making this Idli. We need to use upma rava(Sooji) for this recipe.
  2. Add equal quantity of curd as the rava for more flavor. Curd gives the sourness and softness to the idli.
  3. After 30 mins of resting, the sooji would have absorbed all the curd and water. So adjust the consistency by adding more water or buttermilk.
  4. It’s recommended to use either baking soda or Eno Salt.  Without this  we won’t get softer idli’s.
  5. Adding eno salt or baking soda makes the batter light and helps the idli to become fluffy.
  6. We can also add veggies like peas, chopped spinach, beans etc.

  • Oats Idli– Oats Idli is one of the Instant Idli which doesn’t require the conventional process of soaking the rice, dal and grinding them to make an Idli. Also, it’s low calorie and healthy made with Oats and vegetables of our choices

Hi Mami

Did you add tumeric? It looks yellow. Please let me know

Hi, I have not added any turmeric. Since we are frying the rawa in ghee, it used to be slight dull white only. The yellow color in the photo is because i clicked it in night and the light flashed.
