Hi Anita,

Whenever I make Idli or Dosa batter and if the weather is cold, I keep it in the microwave with the light switched on. The batter ferments overnight with the warmth of the light. Gowry can try this method if it works.

BTW, I am planning to make the idlis tomorrow. Will let you know how it turns.

That’s a good tip, Vaishali. I keep my batter overnight in a warmed up oven to ferment in the wintertime here in Delhi.

Hey Anita..

The rava idlis look wonderful. Yummmyyy…I am feeling hungry again

Btw..a quick question..is it OK if I don’t add baking soda coz I don’t have soda at home and I wanted to make these in the evening or tomorrow morning?

Hi Ritika. The baking soda is critical to get these idlies to be fluffy since there is no fermentation involved. Some people use Eno fruit salt which again, has soda bi-carb as the active ingredient.

I must say, this recipe is fantastic!!!. I have tried so many other recipes for idli but failed. I had almost given up trying idlis when one day I found this awesome recipe. It is great and I receive tons of compliments- Thanx to u!!. I also add broccoli to my Idlis and they become more nutritious too!!

Thanx,
kiran

I think it is time for me to add some veggies to mine as well - that’s what’s for dinner tomorrow then! Isn’t it great when you can have a recipe that is easy and delivers every time!

Hi Anita,

I have been visiting your blog regularly, but have never left a comment. I love your write ups, your photographs and recipes. I have to try out quite a few recipes from your site. The chole, the soup, the masalas.

I have made rava idli’s once before(like you said - for instant gratification), but I got to try this recipe. The pictures are great. My husband loooveeesss the peanut chutney and it also goes well with Dosa’s.

The I-ran thing is hilarious isn’t it?

Thanks for stopping to write.

I-ran is not half as amusing as the fact that we are murdering the “Him-a-layas” ourselves now!
