Idlis using idli rava – Idlis made with udad dal and idli rava
Idlis, the humble staple food of South India is a favourite breakfast dish across India. Idlis is known to be a balanced, healthy breakfast dish as it contains lentils, rice and is steamed. Though there are various types of idlis made from different grains and lentils, the basic type of idli is made with rice and udad dal or with idli rava and udad dal.
Idli is a very commonly made breakfast dish at my place and I have shared a variety of idli recipes in this blog. Recently, I realised that I have not shared the recipe of idli using idli rava which I make so frequently. So, here is the recipe of idlis using idli rava.
Step-wise recipe with pictures:
Wash and soak udad dal in water for 5 to 6 hours.
Drain the water from udad dal and blend with soaked poha into a fine paste using little water.

Keep aside for 8 hours for fermentation.
After 8 hours, grease the idli moulds with oil. Pour the idli batter into the idli moulds.
Steam idlis for 15 to 20 minutes or till the idlis are cooked.
Unmould the idlis and serve hot with chutney and/or sambar.
