Rava Idli Recipe

Idlis are one healthy & nutritious food. They are steamed as well as low fat. Being fermented they are good for the body too. They also make a nice gluten free breakfast or brunch. So do try making these idlis. They grind more easily than soaked rice and also yield soft, fluffy idlis. i also made idlis with cooked rice or left over rice and these idlis were also good. Rava idli is a variation of the popular South Indian breakfast item, idli, made with rava(semolina). Rava idli is served hot and is to be eaten along with Coconut chutney. A dash of ghee poured on the top of Rava Idli adds to the overall taste. They are the softest idlis i have ever made. i always follow the same method of making idli, as mentioned in this idli recipe.
