01. ABOUT RECIPES

Rava Idly is a quick and easy variation of the traditional South Indian idly, prepared using semolina (rava/Sooji) and curd instead of the usual rice and urad dal batter. Unlike rice idly, rava idly does not require overnight soaking or fermentation, making it a convenient and time-saving breakfast or snack. Light, fluffy, and mildly tangy, it can be enriched with a tempering of curry leaves, mustard seeds, and vegetables like grated carrot.

02.INGREDIENTS

  • Rava / Sooji (semolina) – 18 g
  • Curd (plain, low-fat) – 12 g
  • Water – as needed to adjust consistency



  • Salt – ~0.2 g (a pinch)
  • Oil / ghee – a drop to grease mould (optional)
  • Tempering (optional) – tiny amount of mustard seeds, curry leaves, chopped green chilli, grated carrot (negligible quantity for 1 idly)
