    How To Make Plain Rava Idli Without Eno?

    We need the following ingredients to make simple, easy & delicious instant plain rava idli or sooji idli.

    Ingredients to make plain rava idli

    1 cup sooji flour (semolina flour)

    Β½ cup yogurt (curd)

    Β½ cup water add little more if needed

    ΒΌ teaspoon salt

    Β½ teaspoon baking soda

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    2 tablespoons oil

    Step By Step Instructions

    In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients - sooji flour salt, baking soda and baking powder very well.

    In another bowl, whisk well the yogurt without forming any lumps.

    Add the yogurt to the dry flour mixture and mix very well.

    Add the water to the mixture and mix well.

    Add the oil to the flour mixture and stir everything well to form the batter for plain rava idli.

    The consistency for rava idli batter is quite thick, however if the batter is too thick to handle, you may add a few spoons of water and mix the mixture very well to make the batter of the right consistency.

    Make sure not to add too much extra water, as the idli may not come right if the batter is thin.

    Add about 2 tablespoons of batter in each idli mould, fill all moulds until the batter is finished.

    Since we use baking powder in this recipe, the idlis will rise so make sure not to add too much batter in the moulds.

    If the idli moulds are small, you may need to reduce the amount of batter used in each mould.

    Heat very little water in the idli cooker and once the water starts boiling, place the idli stand inside the idli cooker.

    Close the cooker and cook in low heat for about 12 to 14 minutes.

    Open and see if the idlis are cooked and soft. Once the idlis are cooked, keep the cooker away from the hot stove and allow few minutes for the idlis to cool down.

    Once the idlis are cooled for a few minutes, use a spoon (you may dip the spoon in cold water which will make your work easy) to take out each idli from the moulds.

    Transfer the soft and delicious plain rava idlis to the serving dish, serve with any chutney, sambar or any vegetarian curry as you wish.

    Below you can get the recipe for plain rava idli in detail.

        Glad to know the rava idli came out well πŸ™‚ Thank you so much for the feedback! The slight yellow could be from the type of oil & rava/sooji flour that were used I think.

        I do not know about using citric acid, probably you should look for another recipe that might use it instead of yogurt or curd. Also, I have never experienced any soapy smell in the idlis, it could be any of the ingredients that you used. If the curd used is too sour or not fresh, it could affect the flavor I guess.
