I have been wanting to try rawa idli for a while now. I had seen the rawa idli recipe some time back and the idlis were supposed to be instant. So I thought I will make rawa idli which is Instant Rawa Idli which is prepared with semolina and curd with veggies. This is one of my favourite idli recipe. South Indian cuisines are known for their variety of idli and dosa collection. I love this recipe because it is instant. For example, sometimes I feel lazy to soak, grind and ferment the idli batter. During those period, I go for instant breakfast recipes. Rawa idli gets made at home when we want some quick and easy idlis. As I love lidli and dosa anytime of a day, I never say no to the different idli varities. In this recipe you have to use veggies according to your choice. Just grate them and add it in the batter. If you are adding green peas then just boil the peas beforehand and also keep ready the grated veggies. So here is my Instant Rawa Idli recipe with step by step pictures.
