An Easy Idli without Rice and Dal !

Idli is savory cake of South India that is most popular throughout the southern part of India including Tamilnadu, Pondicherry, Kerala, Andhrapradesh and neighbouring countries like Srilanka. The cakes are usually two to three inches in diameter and are made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented black lentils (de-husked) and rice. The fermentation process breaks down the starches so that they are more readily metabolized by the body. (wikipedia)


Normally, we'll make the idli with Rice & Urud Dal batter.  But, today, here we are going to present an easy Idli without rice and dal, with very less ingredients and time. 

More useful for the bachelors as well as for the working women.

Then why you are wasting time ?  Try now itself.  You can learn a new recipe as well as have a nice breakfast or dinner.


Ingredients :

Rava (Semolina)
1 Cup
Fresh Laban/Buttermilk

As required

Method :

-         Mix laban/buttermilk with rava and keep for ½ an hour.
-         Afterwards, use the idly maker to make the idly as usual.
