Rava Idli

Rava Idli is one of the famous tiffin items of South India especially Karnataka. It is prepared using rava / sooji. Rava Idli was  invented by the popular restaurant chain Mavalli Tiffin Rooms[MTR] . It is my favorite too. I loved to eat rava idli in one of the hotel named SLV, in bangalore. I wanted the exact recipe of this. Recently I got the recipe from various other food blogs and I tried it at home. It really came out very well. My husband also liked it a lot. I prepared it with corriander chutney.
