Rava Idli – semolina or suji Idli. kids love to eat Idli in their breakfast, school lunch box, as an evening snack or as lunch or dinner. generally, we make fermented Idli which is very healthy and nutritious because of fermentation. This idli is also very nutritious and has the advantage of not requiring any advance preparations. kids demand snack and you can have these idli’s ready in 30 minutes.
my kids love these idli’s with chutney also and sometimes I send these in their school lunch box with coconut chutney and tomato onion chutney. Tiffin box always come empty on those days 🙂
