Studies find that what you eat for breakfast influences what you eat the rest of the day. So it’s key to choose energy enhancing healthy foods.
This instant Rava idli is so simple, easy and a healthy breakfast, which can be made within minutes. In my house, everybody likes different varieties of idlis. This Rava idli is made on a Sunday morning in my house so that everyone can enjoy a healthy and delicious breakfast.This doesn’t require any fermentation.



Rava idli is made using roasted semolina which is mixed with vegetables, curd, baking soda/ eno salt, seasoned with a perfect amount of spices and made into a pouring consistency by adding enough amount of water. It is then steamed in idli molds till perfection and served along with your choice of chutneys.


This is a perfect, filling and a quick breakfast, which will be liked by all and which doesn’t require any soaking, grinding or fermenting. Adding tempering is optional, but it enhances the flavors. Try this out and let me know.
