Instant Oats Rava Idli


IMG_5604
Breakfast times are generally hurried times in most of the households where there would be a mad rush to finish chores and generally get done with stuff.Elaborate breakfasts are pushed to the weekend to be enjoyed in leisure.In such times,instant foods come as a great boon.How about a healthy and nutritious breakfast which gets done in less than 30 minutes from start to finish including prep work?

If you have tried MTR Rava idli and liked it,you'll like this idli too.Spongy,flavorsome and healthy and more so homemade and instant.Do you need any more reasons to try this one out?

Instant Oats Rava Idli
Recipe source - Sharmi's Passions

Ingredients

Instant Oats - 1 cup [ I used Baggreys]
Rava - 1/2 cup
Curd - 1/2 cup
Water - 3/4 cup or as required
Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Green chilly - 1,finely chopped
Carrot - 1 medium size,grated
Hing - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp,finely chopped
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Oil - to grease the idli plates
Cashewnut halves for garnish - optional

Method

In a kadai dry roast the oats for 3-4 minutes,let cool and then grind to a fine powder.Keep aside.
In the same pan,roast rava for 3-4 minutes,transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add a tsp of oil into a kadai and splutter mustard seeds.Mix in green chilly,grated carrot and coriander leaves and saute for a minute or so.
In a big mixing bowl,combine oats powder,roasted rava and the sauteed carrots along with the tempering.Add hing and salt to taste and give a good mix.
Mix in the curds and enough water to make the batter.

Prepare idli - Grease idli plates with a little oil and place one cashewnut half in the middle and pour idli batter on top.The said recipe yields 10 idlis.
Steam for 10-15 minutes.
Serve hot with chutney or sambhar.

Notes 
  • The original recipe uses wheat rava,since I didn't have it,I replaced it with regular white rava.
  • The batter should be slightly thicker than the regular idli batter and would be a bit sticky.Pour less amount of batter per idli plate to get soft,porous idlis.

  6. Your entire plate looks like the best plate of breakfast ever! :D the podi, chutney and those wonderfully colourful idlis... im sold! just a doubt - when u say white rava, does that mean sooji rava? the one used to make upma? i'm very bad with differentiating with ravas esp since in Bombay everything is called something else like Lapsi, kansar, etc!!!
