Ingredients

  • 1 cup Beaten Rice / Poha / Aval, thick variety
  • 1.5 cup Idli Rava
  • 2 cups Curds preferably sour
  • 1/8 tsp ENO Fruit salt
  • Water as required
  • Salt to taste
  • Ghee to grease idli moulds

Instructions

  • Wash and soak the poha in curds for 10 - 15 mins or till they turn soft. Its mostly soft by this time.
  • Mash it nicely using a spoon
  • Add idli rava, curds and mix well. Add water slowly to get the idli consistency.
  • Mix well and let it rest for 15 mins. By this time, rava would have absorbed all the water.
  • Add a little more water if required.
  • Finally add salt to taste. Just before steaming add the Eno and give a quick stir. Make sure you don’t stir too much.
  • Grease the idli moulds with ghee/oil, if you want, you can place cashews on the plate and then pour a ladleful of batter
  • Fill the idli steamer with water and place the filled plates to be steamed for 8 to 10 mins. Let it rest for a few minutes before you remove.
  • Serve hot with a side dish of your choice.

Notes

You can use Baking Soda if you can’t get Eno Allow the idlis to rest before you remove, else it might break.
