Instructions
 

Preparing the Batter

  • Mix the wheat rava and vermicelli in a large bowl. Add the yogurt, salt, and water. Mix thoroughly with a ladle until a smooth, pourable batter forms. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the rava and vermicelli to soften.

Making the Tempering

  • Heat the oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds and split chickpeas. Sauté until the seeds splutter and the chickpeas turn light brown.

Steaming the Idlis

  • Add the eno fruit salt to the batter and gently mix. Immediately pour the batter into greased idli molds. Steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the idlis are cooked through and firm.

Serving

  • Allow the idlis to rest in the molds for 5 minutes before removing. Serve hot with sambar and coconut chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Idlis

  • For extra fluffy idlis, use freshly ground rava.
  • Ensure the yogurt is well-blended to achieve a smooth batter. Avoid using overly thick or watery yogurt.
  • Don't overmix the batter after adding the eno fruit salt; a few gentle folds are sufficient to incorporate it.
  • If your idlis stick to the molds, lightly grease them with oil or cooking spray.

I am a native of Kanyakumari district, brought up in Tiruchirapalli, and settled in Tirunelveli. I started exploring cooking at the age of 15 and learned a variety of recipes from my two grandmothers, friends, aunts, mother, and mother-in-law.

Cooking is, of course, my passion. I work as a teacher, and my colleagues love to receive recipes and tips from me, just as I enjoy learning from them. My son and husband encourage me to experiment with and innovate new dishes."
