Instant Rawa Idli

Instant Rawa Idli



Idlis are staple food in Southern India. It's served during all the 3 meals, and is very light and no oil food. It's thick paste of rice and washed black gram soaked and fermented and then steamed next day. Since it's a lengthy process there are many instant and quick versions to it. 
Today I made an instant and quick fix to idlis using Rawa/semolina/ sooji. The results was supper soft idlis in no time, I also used my microwave idli steamer and the idlis were done in exactly 4 minutes..
