Dear Lakme welcome, yes you have been missing for sometime.
How are you? Thanks for your nice feed back.
Here I have given you the method to make idli with rava idli.
This is how I make. Thanks. Kugan



IDLI RAVA IDLI

Ingredients:


2 cups of idli rava
2 cups of warm water
Salt to taste

1 cup urad dal
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
water to grind the urad dal


Soak the urad dal with the fenugreek seeds, over night.
The next day grind the urad dal and fenugreek seeds to a creamy consistency.
Do not add lot of water.

Soak the idli rava with the warm water and salt for about ½ an hour.
Now mix both the soaked idli rava and the ground urad dal paste.
The consistency should be like idli batter.
Mix well and let it ferment for about 8 to 9 hours.

Then steam idli as usual.
Thanks. Kugan
