Rava Idlis

rava_idli

One of our favorite breakfasts where you simply mix and steam for wonderfully fluffy idlis.

Ingredients

1.5 cup rava (cream of wheat)

1.5 cup yogurt

2 tblsp broken cashews

4 green chilis, chopped

1 inch ginger, chopped fine

1 tsp mustard seeds

4-5 curry leaves

1 tblsp coriander leaves

Method

In a large wok, slow roast the rava till golden in color. Separately, take some oil (about 2 tbsp) and when hot, add mustard seeds to it. Wait till they stop popping, add the cashew, curry leaves and green chilies. Let this mixture cool down. Transfer to a bowl and add ginger, coriander, rava and yogurt. Mix well. Make sure the consistency of the batter is such that when poured, it does not pour but rather falls in lumps. Meanwhile, heat water in a steaming vessel (we use a pressure cooker without the weight/whistle on top to steam). When the steam begins to form, add the backing soda to the mixture and pour into appropriate molds. Wait for between 5-10 minutes before putting the molds into the steamer. Steam for about 10-15 minutes. When still hot, take the idlis out on to a cooling rack using a flexible plastic knife or spatula. Enjoy with freshly ground chutney, “gunpowder” or sambar! 🙂

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
