“Rava Idli” is a popular South Indian cuisine made using Semolina or sooji. It is not only easy to prepare but healthy and tasty also. Rava idli is also know by the name Sooji Idli. It is soft and spongy in texture and tastes delicious with coconut chutney.
I have added a twist to the traditional rava idli recipe by adding nine more ingredients, hence calling it “Navratan Idli”. These nine ingredients consists of lots of colourful vegetables, nuts, raisins and vermicelli. It is healthy breakfast recipe. The Navratan rava idli not only makes the breakfast wholesome but also bursting with flavours and aroma. I got so bored eating regular Rava Idlis, but after this recipe I am never going to look back at the plain ones. You can add whatever vegetables you like or which are available with you. It is also a wonderful recipe for giving in the kid’s tiffin as you can add your tiny tot’s favourite veggies or nuts. It makes a complete vegetarian meal in itself when eaten with sambhar and chutney.
