Plain Rava Idli Recipe – Instant Suji Idli With Eno, Curd

 Recently I started making Instant plain rava idli (suji ki idli) without any seasoning for the sake of Raksha. This instant suji idli is a simple and quick version of our usual rava idli (semolina idli). It takes very less preparation time. All you have to do is to just mix a cup of Bombay rava, curd, ENO fruit salt, salt and water.  You can also use chiroti rava / fine rava. Make idli batter and steam for 10 minutes. Your instant breakfast or dinner would be ready in no time. This recipe of plain rava idli is ideal for bachelors and working women to make your food quickly on a tiring day. You can use roasted or unroasted rava. Both gives great results. This idli stays soft for few hours. So you can even pack it for your lunch box if you like.

 A mixed vegetable kurma or tomato chutney would be a great side dish for this rava idli recipe and makes it a wholesome, tummy filling breakfast or dinner. Most of my readers have asked me to post rava idli without curd and ENO. But I am not sure how it works. As this idli is an instant version without fermentation curd, ENO or cooking soda is necessary to make it soft and spongy. Even in hotels, cooking soda is used to make it fluffy and spongy. If you want to make rava idli without curd, you should increase the quantity of ENO. Similarly if you want to skip cooking soda or ENO, you must add more curd to retain the softness.

Ok friends, lets check out how to make instant, plain rava idli recipe with curd and Eno. Do watch the video and refer the step by step pictures for better understanding. Don't forget to try this instant, plain rava idli recipe and share your feedback with me.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 250ml Bombay Rava / Semolina / Suji - 1 cup Curd - 1 cup Water - 1/2 cup Eno fruit salt / baking soda - 1/3 tsp / 1/8 tsp Salt - as needed

HOW TO MAKE PLAIN RAVA IDLI

1. Heat a kadai and dry roast the Bombay rava(Semolina/ Suji) for few minutes without changing the color.
2. Let it cool down completely. Roasting is completely optional. 
3. Add curd, water and salt. Make smooth batter without lumps.
4. Lastly add fresh Eno fruit salt and mix well. It will bubble and make the batter light and frothy.
5. Add some water and adjust the consistency of batter if its too thick.
6. Take an oil greased idli mould. Fill the batter till 3/4 th of the mould.
7. Boil water in an idli pot.  Keep the idli plate and steam for 10 minutes till rava idli is cooked well.
8. Remove the idli and serve hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, sambar or kurma.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

To make instant, plain rava idli you can either dry roast the rava/suji for 5 minutes in medium flame without changing the color OR you can skip roasting and make idli directly. Both works well. If you roast the rava, allow it cool down completely. Do not add curd if the rava is hot. If you are using unroasted rava, you can add curd immediately. In this recipe, I roasted the rava and used it. Add curd, salt and 1/2 cup of water to the rava. Mix without lumps. No need to rest the batter. Add ENO fruit salt and mix well. If the Eno is active, it should bubble up as soon as you add it to the rava, curd mixture. Mix gently till the batter is light. Check the consistency of batter and add some water (say 1/4 cup) to make it slightly thick and pourable. Grease idli plate with little oil. Pour the batter till 3/4th of the mould. Boil water in an idli pot. Place the idli plate and steam for 10 to 15 minutes till idli is cooked well. Remove the idli plate and rest for 2 minutes. Then remove the idli with a spoon. Serve hot with coconut chutney or tomato chutney, Sambar or kurma as you like. Enjoy !

Note

You can use baking soda / cooking soda instead of Eno fruit salt. If you want to skip curd, add 1 tsp of Eno instead of 1/2 tsp. Do not make the batter too thick or too thin. It should be semi thick and pourable. The size of this idli increases after cooking. So fill the mould till 3/4th or 1/2 as per the size you need.
