Ragi Rava Idli |
Heat oil in a pan & temper it with above ingredients.
Add the vegetables and fry for couple minutes.
Add the rava and in very low flame fry for few minutes,do not burn or over fry them,Then add the ragi flour and fry a bit and switch off the stove.
Cool this mixture,now mix the water,lime juice,salt & curd.The mixture will look like a idly batter,light & semi thick ( your batter should not be too thick or too thin).
Grease your idly plates with oil,place a fried cashew nut.
Heat water in your idly cooker,once your ready to steam the idly, mix in the ENO to your batter & gently mix till it forms froth & bubbles starts to appear.
Immediately pour a ladle of batter on top of the cashew nut, steam them for 8 minutes or till done.
Serve it hot with any chutney you wish.
Note:
ENO is very important ingredient in this recipe,make sure its active,otherwise your idli will not turn out good.Some use cooking soda instead of ENO fruit salt but i have not tried.
