hi,thanks for u r … hi,thanks for u r rava idli. i have done that today by seeing this.taste is soooo good but it turned out so hard.even i pour ed the mixture on to the idli plate very fast after mixing with ENO fruit salt with in 1 min. it turned out hard. can u pls suggest me how to get it soft one.plssss.thaks a lot for u r videos.i have done GOBI MANCHURIAN it was sooooooo good.tq
Nice tip on how to … Nice tip on how to stack the idli plates. Though from south india and idli being our almost every day staple food, i did not know that tip. Thanks.
When making rava idli, we don’t let the batter sit even for 15 mts since they tend to get hard that way. Also, we personally avoid adding ENO or any baking salt too much since they are not too good on your tummy. Rava idli comes out soft and tasty even without eno salt.
I like Idli(Rava/ … I like Idli(Rava/Traditional) the way it is made in and around Udupi/Mangalore – with no oil(what John was referring to). That makes it truly healthy and amazing food. Also, lot of diabetic people prefer Rava Idli as there is no rice component in it – just Rava, and Urad Dhal(for protein) boiled in steam. Folks prefer to have Idli with Ghee/Coconut Chutney etc. – keeping the oil component external to idli making.
I guess folks from North/Gujarath make it with some oil in it.

I am not confusing Rava Idli with traditional Idli. I have been preparing Rava Idli for years(using Semolina – Rava). I have also prepared the traditional Idli with 1) Rava made from rice or 2) grinding soaked rice. May be you folks do not know that Rava-semolina Idli can be made just like the traditional idli with ground Urad dal paste with the fermentation process. To state ‘This is simply the manner in which you make Rava Idli’ is ignorance at best.
Idli used Rava ( … Idli used Rava ( made from rice) as the basic ingredient and rice itself has oil (fat) in it …if you are so health conscious then why don’t you make idli with water …..
You may be … You may be confusing Rava Idli with traditional idli. Please feel free to see our video about traditional idli as well. Rava idli is not the traditional idli to which you are referring. It cannot be made without roasting the rava first so there is nothing innovative or modern about doing so. This is simply the manner in which you make Rava Idli.
Idli is supposed to … Idli is supposed to be a healthy food. With the additional oil (used for frying rava and then spraying it on the idli pan)and fermenting agent that you have used, you have made it unhealthy – typical of modern day cooking. This is what happens while one tries to get too innovative smart. Stick to the basics and get healthy food.
IDLI = 0 Oil food = Healthy Food that is steam boiled. Nothing more, nothing less.

ENO Fruit Salt is … ENO Fruit Salt is available in Indian Grocery Stores. It is basically 60% baking soda and 40% citric acid and makes the batter foamy and the idlis rise. It doesn’t really make the idlis more salty.
