Semiya Rava Idli Recipe | Instant Vermicelli Sooji Idli Recipe

Semiya Rava Idli is an Instant Idli made using vermicelli and rava. Somedays when we don’t have stock of Idli/dosa batter, we look of easy options for breakfast or dinner. There are lots of Instant Idli and dosa varieties we could make and I have already shared many of them. Most of us go for upma and pongal. Rava and Semiya are 2 very handy ingredients in our pantry. We can quickly make upma with Rava and Semiya. With these 2 handy ingredients, today I tried this instant Semiya Rava idli and it turned out so yummy. We can serve this instant and delicious Semiya Rava Idli with Coriander or tomato chutney or simply with idli podi.

Tips for making Semiya Rava Idli:

1. Roasting Vermicelli :We can use store bought roasted vermicelli. But just dry roast till its warm and then use it
2. Roasting Rava: We can use store bought roasted rava . But its always good to dry roast it again before using. Roast the Rava till it start to change color.
3. Along with tempering, we can add chopped veggies and make this idli more healthier. Or we can just add grated carrot or spinach to the batter directly without sautéing.
4. Curd incorporates the sourness in the batter. We can add 2 full cups of curd or we can use 1.5 cups of curd and 1/2 cup of water to make the batter
5. Rest the batter for 20 mins for the vermicelli and rava to absorb curd. After 20 mins ,the mixture would be dry. Add water and adjust the consistency
6. Adding Eno salt helps to aerate the batter which we would generally get through fermentation process. Since this recipe is instant, we need to either add Eno salt or baking soda which will make the batter lighter and helps the idli to be fluffy and soft
7. After adding Eno salt, do not refrigerate or rest the batter. Eno salt will dilute the batter. So if you plan to make idli later, then add eno salt just before steaming process
8. Steam cook atleast for 15 mins for the semiya to cook completely. Once steam cooking done, allow the idli to cool down for 5 mins then take out the idli
