Instant Rava Idli recipe | how to make rava idli | instant suji idli | Instant semolina idli - Naughty Little BEES kitchen

Rava idli can be best replacement for normal rice idli. Less calorie and healthy breakfast/Dinner replacement from usual recipe and I am sure kids would love it my little one said mumma this was awesome😃. You can use pinch of baking soda instead of eno fruit salt as we are doing for the kids to get soft and fluffy idlies. Batter should rest for minimum half an hour to get good results. Eating light foods for dinner helps in quick digestion. Even diabetes patients can take this idli instead of normal idli either for breakfast/dinner
