Ingredients
- 1 Cup Roasted Semi Coarse Semolina (Rava)
- 1 Cup Roasted Vermicelli (Sevai)
- 1/4 Cup Green Peas (Any vegetable of your choice)
- 1 tbsp Curd
- Chopped Green chilly to taste (Optional)
- 1 tbsp Chopped Coriander (Optional)
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Fruit Salt (Eno)
- Water as required
- Oil for greasing Idli moulds
- Water for steaming
Instructions
- Roast the Semolina and Vermicelli in some ghee (clarified butter) or oil , if not already roasted. Let it cool.
- Once cool, in wide bowl add the Semolina, Vermicelli, salt and curd and enough water. Mix everything. Do not too much water, we want a semi thick / dropping consistency batter, not runny. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes so that the Semolina hydrates/soaks water.
- In the meantime grease the Idli moulds and keep the water for boiling in the Idli vessel or in a wide vessel big enough for the Idli moulds.
- After 5-10 minutes, add the vegetables and give a quick mix. Just before putting the Idli batter in the mould add fruit salt and a tablespoon of water and mix everything. Adjust water consistency, if too thick. Do not add too much water, we want a semi thick / dropping consistency batter, not runny.
- Add the batter in the greased Idli moulds and keep the Idli moulds for steaming for 10 minutes.
- Remove after 10 minutes. Let it rest on the counter for 1 min. With a spoon, remove the Idli's.
- Serve it with chutney or tea for breakfast, or pack in your kid's or your office lunchboxes.
