Rava Idli

Ingredients:
Rava/Sooji (White) - 1 1/2 cup
Mustard - 1 tsp
Green Coriander chopped - 1 tbsp
Green chillies Chopped - 4
Ginger grated - 1/2 inch
Curry leaves chopped - 10-12 leaves
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil - 2 tsp
Curds - 2 cups
Cashew pieces - a few (optional)

Method:
Take oil in a pan and heat it. Add Mustard seeds and cashew pieces and fry for a minute.
Add rava and fry on medium flame for 3 minutes then cool it on a plate.
Take a mixing bowl and mix rava, chillies, coriander, curry leaves and ginger. Add salt.
Heat water in a pressure cooker.
Mix curds just before preparing idlies. Check for salt. Add baking soda and mix the dough lightly. You can see the bubbles coming from the dough. If the mixture is too thick you can add water.
Steam this mixture in idli moulds without putting weight to the pressure cooker. Cook on medium flame for about 12 minutes.
Let the idli stay in the cooker for a minute and then remove it.


Serve hot with ghee and coconut chutney.
