Instant Sooji ki Idli

Instant Sooji ki Idli | Rava Idli

Rava Idli

Rava Idli (सूजी की इडली) is a soft, fluffy, spongy and popular idli. This is a quick, easy and simple recipe made with sooji (semolina), curd and eno. Traditional idli recipe needs soaking and grinding process of rice and lentils. Then this batter is fermented for 8-10 hours. This is a very lengthy process. But this instant rava idli recipe doesn’t follow these steps.

The batter of idli is made by just mixing sooji, curd, salt and leavening agent. Here I am using Eno as a leavening agent. Baking soda can be used in place of Eno. When we add the leavener, it reacts with curd and makes idli spongy and fluffy. This is a necessary process to make idli. Instant rava idli can be made with some variation by adding spices and vegetables.

These rava idli can be served with sambhar and coconut chutney. You can serve them in breakfast or pack in lunchbox. I have already shared the recipe of sambhar and coconut chutney in earlier post.

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: South Indian
Prep. Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serving: 4

Ingredients:

2 cup Sooji (semolina or rava)
3/4 cup Curd (yogurt)
Salt to taste
1½ cup water
1.5 tsp. Eno

Instructions:

Take sooji, curd and salt in a bowl.

Add water and mix properly. Combine well to make lump free batter.

Cover and leave it for 20 minutes. Sooji will absorb water.
After 20 minutes if required add more water to make batter consistency.

Grease idli plates and boil water in steamer.
Add Eno and mix quickly.

Do not over mix the batter otherwise air bubbles will escape making idli hard.

Pour the batter in idli plates.
Place them in steamer.

Cover with lid and steam cook for 10-15 minutes.
After that insert knife or toothpick to check that it has done.

Cool slightly and remove idli with a spoon.
Serve hot.

Tips:

You may add baking powder in place of Eno.
Do not over fill the idli plate as idli will rise on cooking.
Do not skip curd.
Add Eno just before steaming them.
