Instant Rava idli without ENO, baking soda was in my try list for years (Suji ki idli in Hindi). Some of my readers and friends were also asking me to try and share this recipe in my blog. After so many trial and errors, I am hooked up with this recipe. Usually rava idli batter without ENO, Baking soda needs to be fermented at least for 1 to 4 hours to get soft idli. It may be helpful for people living in hot places. For me, being in Bangalore, this trick never worked. I always end up making hard idli even after resting the batter for few hours.
Usually we use rava and curd in same quantity. Once I tried adding the leftover sour curd which is double the quantity of rava. i.e I used 2 cups of sour curd for 1 cup of roasted rava. Voila ! Idli came out super soft and fluffy. We all loved it. From then, this instant rava idli recipe without using ENO and baking soda has become my go to recipe. I make this idli at least once in a week for our dinner.

You can also have it with tomato chutney or sambar if you like. Friends, do try this easy, yummy, instant Rava idli recipe without ENO, baking soda and enjoy! Check out the video below.
