Mixed Vegetable Rawa Idly

Another post after a week. I was kinda running between doctor's office and home cos one of my twin is sick and she has stomach flu. This is something I hate and it takes more than 10 days for my girls to start eating properly. I learned this from Sripriya's blog and tried this one for my other twin. She was not actually excitied after seeing vegetables in Idly, but she tried one and she liked it. My husband really liked the new changes in regular rawa idly. I followed almost the same recipe of Sripriya but skipped few vegetables. Here is the recipe...


Ingredients:-

1. Coarse Rawa - 2 cups
2. carrots - 1 (shred it)
3. Peas - 2 tbsp (I used frozen)
4. Beans - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
5. Green chillies - 2 (acc to taste)
6. Ginger -  a small piece
7. Yogurt - 1 cup
8. salt to taste
9. turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
10. oil- 2 tsp
11. mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
12. urad dhall - 1/2 tsp
13. cashew nuts- few
14. Eno salt- 2 tsp

Take a wide bowl, add rawa, yogurt, salt, turmeric powder and vegetables and mix well. Also add oil, eno salt and add water accordingly to get it like  idly batter. Let it sit for half an hour. when you are ready to make idly, pre heat oil, in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, add urad dhall and cashew nuts and fry it to golden brown. Also add green chillies and ginger and fry it and pour it on top of the batter.  Now spray the idly moulds, add the batter and steam cook it for 10 to 12 mts.  Garnish it with coriander leaves.

I usually buy ready to make rava idly pack and make idllies. This time I wanted to try by myself. Learned it from Gayathri's Check how to do? blog in which she has collected a handfull of useful videos. Here is the recipe I followed.

1. Rava (coarse sooji) - 2 cups
2. Curd - 1 cup
3. Water - 1 1/4 cup (or required amount)
4. Oil - 2 tbsp
5. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
6. Asafoetida powder - a pinch
7. Ginger - 1 tsp
8. Channa dhall - 1 tsp
9. Urad dhall - 1 tsp
10. Red chillies - 1
11. Cashew - 1 tsp
12. Curry leaves - few
13. Green chillies - 1 tsp
14. Salt to taste
15. Coriander leaves - to garnish.

Pre heat a drop of oil, roast sooji till it becomes pinkish brown. Let it cool. In the mean time, pre heat remaining oil, splutter mustard seeds, add channa dhall, red chillies, urad dhall, asafoetida powder and fry it till golden brown. Add it to the roasted sooji. Mix finely chopped green chillies, ginger, curry leaves and coriander leaves with curd. Mix it well. Add it to sooji. Add salt and required amount of water to bring it to idly batter consistency. Keep it aside for an hour to two. When you are ready to make idllies, spray oil in idly moulds, pour laddle full of batter in it and steam cook it for 20 mts. Serve it hot with some chutney.
