Deepa, I will surely try to add soups/juice recipes. I am going to add a cake recipe soon and after that I promise to add your request. I know in pregnancy juice and soups are very good for the health and in general too. I just delivered a baby and he is 6 & 1/2 months old.. Life is super busy yet very very rewarding. Enjoy your pregnancy and I wish you the very best.

Hey ,

Thanks for such prompt reply.Ya i know about Eno.As i am pregnant i didn’t want to use soda.So yours was the only site where i found the recipe without using Eno.
Thats why i liked it.Anyways thanks for your help.As long as the Idly tastes good and is soft i dont mind much about the fluffy part.
The other day i tried your Lauki Recipe..It turned out awesome.Thanks for posting such wonderful and easy recipes.I do have a suggestion.Can you post some Soup and Juice recipes.Specially for pregnancy..Its just a request.

Thanks and regards

Deepa, Thanks so much for checking out the recipe and even giving it a try! usually with the above recipe the idli will not fluff but it will be soft as you said. But you can try adding a little bit of Eno ( 1/2 – 1 tsp depending on the amount of batter) and then try. This may fluff the idly a little. Because we do not ferment or add yeast like idli batter, fluffiness does not come, but try adding eno and see.

Hope this helps. take care.

Hey,

Thank you for posting such tasty and simple recipes..It really helps people like me who are new to cooking..I tried Rava Idly other day..It turned out good…But my only concern was it didnt fluff up like rice idly..Is it normal??..Coz the taste was good and idly was soft …Should i fry the rava next time??

I love rava idlis; adding carrots, peas and potatoes to the batter is a wonderful idea

Riya, Thanks so much for checking out the recipe and even giving it a try! I am glad your hubby loved it and I hope you did too. Well, usually toasting the rava a little does make a difference in it’s consistency. The same goes true while making pulao. Toast the rice with vegetables before adding water. It makes huge difference.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

But I should mention that my hubby loved it who very rarely criticizes.Ha ha.So I showed ur Idli photos and said that is the benchmark for comparison!! )

Tried ur recipe today.Came out well.But does roasted/unroasted rava makes difference with consistency of the batter? I used roasted rava and some of the ildis didnt stick together that well.

Katalin,

Thanks for checking out the recipes and I am happy to know about your stay in India. Sooji or Rava or Rawa means Semolina. It is also called as cream of wheat. I hope this helps. I usually add the translations in my “Terminology” section but somehow missed this one. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks.

Hi ladies,
I love Indian cooking. Spent lots of time in India years ago and brought back a cookbook.
Sometimes I don’t know know what some expressions mean. Like, Rava. What is it? What is a American equivalent?
Please advise
