Ingredients

Instant Rice Flour Idlis

1 cup rice flour (140g)

½ cup (85g) rava / semolina / suji, coarse

¾ cup yogurt

1 tsp salt

¾ cup + 2 tbsp water, approx.

½ tsp Eno fruit salt

1 tsp water

A little oil for greasing the idli moulds

Procedure

1. In a mixing bowl, mix the rice flour, semolina, yogurt, and salt.
2. Pour in a little of the water at a time and mix well till you get a medium thick pouring consistency batter. Cover it and let it rest for around 15 minutes.
3. After 15 minutes, if the batter seems to have thickened a little, add a few teaspoons of water to adjust the consistency.
4. Add the Eno fruit salt and 1 tsp of water. Mix it in and whip the batter well.
5. Then quickly add a little of it to lightly greased idli moulds.
6. Steam the idlis in a steamer for around 15 minutes
7. Check if the idlis have steamed properly by using a skewer. If the skewer comes out clean, the idlis will be done.
8. Remove the stand from the steamer and let the idlis cool for around 10-15 minutes. And then unmould them. The idlis can be enjoyed with any chutney of your choice or with sambar.

Enjoy!
