For RCI-Karnataka hosted by Asha of Foodie’s hope, I’ll be making some of my favorite breakfast or as we call it morning tiffin. So this week its all tiffin items.
Rave(soji,semolina) idly or mosaru(curd,yogurt) idly its called, is one of my favorite rava dishes. To this day at my mother’s house its rava item on Monday mornings, its either upiitu (upma) 80% of the time or rave-mosaru idly. During school day every Monday morning I was hoping it would be rave idly instead of upiitu.
So here is the recipe for very simple and satisfying Rave or mosaru idly.
- Curds – 2 cups (I make at home, with low fat milk)
- Rava(Upma rava) – 2 cups
- Oil- 1tbsp, channa dal-1tsp, curry leaves, cumin-mustard-1tsp, Carrot- 1/2cup Grated. Can also add corriander leaves and green chillies.
* This measurement make about 16 idlies.
- Heat oil in a vessel, when hot add mustard, cumin and channadal and curry leaves, then add rava and fry till light brown or untill raw smell of rave is gone(Can make this part night before and in morning just add curds and make idlies).
- When the rave mixture is cool enough add 1 cup of curd and mix and keep aside for 10 mins or so. Rave will absorb all the moisture from rave and becomes like a thick dough
- When ready to make idlies add the remaining curds and make like thick batter and pour over greased idly moulds.(If its too thick add little water or more curds)
- Steam them for about 20 mins.
- Let it cool for a while before taking from the Idly moulds (allowing it to cool makes eldy come off easily without sticking to the moulds).
- We had it with kadalebele(channa dal) chutney.
Kadalebele chutney.
Channadal 3/4 th cup, red onion- 1 small, garlic-1pod, tamrind water/paste- 2tbsp, red chillies -2 and salt
- Fry all the above ingredints one by one with little oil and when cool grind it using tamarind water or plain water.
- Do the tempering with oil, mustard seeds.
Enjoy with idlies.

Though I don’t like idlis, I am tempted to try this out. Almost like instant idlis!. I make instant dosas. If you are interested there’s a recipe on my blog.
I like your chutney a lot.
Oh please do try it and let me know how you liked it. Love to know more instant recipes, I like to do for evening quick meals. Thanks TBC

I like to make this kinda idlis, thanks for the wonderful kanaada recipe
September 6, 2007 at 12:34 pm
awesome idlis and picture perfect:) must we use sour curd? (i use only store-bought curd)
Hi Latha, doesn’t have to be too sour or too sweet. If your are using store brought put it in a bowl and keep out for few hours it should be good. Or go ahead and add the sweet curd. It will taste good too. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by.

hi
which rava did u use to make idlis is it bombay rava or the crackled wheat rava????
Hi Swathi,
I have used upma rava, I have tried using cornmeal too , you can use cracked wheat. It tastes great.
February 9, 2008 at 10:37 am
Hi..
ur chutney looks different..i made it n turned out delicious.a sure treat with idlies
I am glad you liked it, it goes well with dosas too.
July 2, 2008 at 5:49 am
Hi! I was wondering , shouldn’t a pinch of eating soda be added. I have read a lot of versions of rava idli and I have found that soda helps .
October 1, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Hi Madhu,
I tried this recipe today. Though the Idlis tasted really good, they turned out very hard.
Can you please help me, what should I do to make porous/fluffy Rave Idlis?
Thanks for your time!
Harini
Same problem has happened to me, try adding more curds instead of water and batter should be meduim of consistancy. Leave it for 10 mins or so before pouring it to steamer.Do give it a try. Thnaks.
November 6, 2009 at 11:24 pm
the chutney turned out awesome!! thanks. will surely make this a standard with rava idlis 🙂

Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot about this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I feel that you simply could do with some percent to drive the message house a little bit, but instead of that, that is magnificent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.

I precisely needed to thank you very much again. I am not sure the things I could possibly have done in the absence of the actual points shared by you concerning such a field. This was a very hard case for me personally, but observing the specialised manner you resolved it took me to weep with delight. I will be thankful for the support and thus trust you realize what an amazing job your are accomplishing educating other individuals through your website. I am sure you haven’t come across all of us.
