Idly from Idly rava -- How to make! pls advice

Hi selvi normally we use 3:1 ratio, if urad daal grinds in wet grinder. But here we don't have wet grinders, so we use mixie for grinding n the ratio is 2:1, add little baking shoda also

 

. If u use wet grinder for grinding, no need to add cooking soda

 

dear surya,

2 cups rava mixed with 1 cup dal or 2 cups dal mixed with 1 cup rava?how long it should be kept ? 2 hours is enuf ? or can we make it instantly?

 

It is 2 cups idli rava with one cup udad dal .....you cannot make it instant you need to get it fermented if it gets fermented you can use but I think you are speaking of instant rava idly.......if so then the rava used is not idly rava but bombay rava to make it you dont need udad dal at all, you can make it in 1/2hr time check Chitvishs rava idly recipe.......Good Luck:thumbsup

 

dear vj bunny,

very thanx for the clarification.i was totally confused.so far i didnot tried idly rava.i used to have idly made by rice-dal and bombay rava only.

 

hi all

can somebody suggest a gud brand for idly rava

 

Hi..
Here is my recipe.

Wash and soak 1 cup of whole urad dal (without the skin) overnight. Wash 2 cups idli rava and soak overnight. To wash the rava, add water to the rava and keep aside for 5 mins, the rava will settle down, then discard the water,add water again and keep aside for 5 mins till the rava settles to the bottom.Repeat this 6 times.Then soak the idli rava overnight in a seperate bowl.

Grind the urad dal into a fluffy and a smooth paste.Discard the water from the idli rava, squeeze the water from idli rava and add to the urad dal batter, add little eno fruit salt, salt and mix well.Keep in a warm place and allow it to ferment for 8 hours.The fermented batter can be used to make idlies.
