Rava idli

Today being a weekend morning, one of those days when we can sit for a proper Indian breakfast, I wanted to eat idlis. Bur unfortunately idlis takes lot of pre- planning- like soaking the dal the previous morning and all. So I made the fast version if it with different ingredients and served it with delicious Sambar

Rava idli( steamed dumplings with semolina)
Ingredients
1. 1 cup upma ravva
2. 1 cup plain yogurt
3. 1 medium large carrot grated fine
4. 1/4 cup chopped spinach
5. 2 teaspoons ghee
7. 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, mustard seeds, black urad dal, salt, baking soda.
8. 1-2 green chillies finely chopped
9. 1 tablespoon each of grated coconut, chopped coriander, cashew
10. 1 teaspoon Chana dal
11. 1/2- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

In a pan heat the ghee and fry the cumin, mustard seeds, urad dal and Chana dal until they start splattering. Add green chillies and ginger and stir and cut the heat. Let it cool
In a bowl mix the rava with all the ingredients except cashew and 1/4 cup water. Add the fried items also. Set it aside for 30 minutes

Oil the idli steamer and put a cashew and add batter and steam. Let it cool a bit and serve with hot sambar and chutney
