1. Chop carrots, ginger, green chilli and coriander leaves finely.
Method
2. Heat oil in a kadai /pan, add mustard seeds, when mustard splutters, add hing and urad dal.
3. When dal changes colour, add cashew nuts, ginger, green chilli and curry leaves.
4. Then add rava and roast it nicely for a few minutes. Do not burn the rava.
5. Allow it to cool. After it cools, add curd, finely chopped coriander leaves, carrot, baking soda
and needed salt. Add water little by little and mix it well without lumps. The consistency of
the rava idli batter should be similar to idli batter. The batter should neither be thick nor thin,
so adjust water accordingly.
6. Let the rava idli batter rest for 15-20 minutes.
7. Pour it on greased idli moulds and steam cook for 10-15 minutes just as you do for normal
idlis.
8. Serve piping hot with tomato chutney or any chutney of your choice.
