Idli is a popular breakfast dish in South India. It is best served hot, out of the steamer, along with Sambar and Chutney.
Idli has received a mention in several ancient Indian scriptures. It has been recognized by the names – Iddalige or Iddarika. It was prepared only from Black Gram / Urad Dal batter in ancient times. The history addresses various methods and names for the humble Idli, which used Urad Dal predominantly. However, the modern take on Idli where the use of rice along with urad dal, the long fermentation of the mix and finally the steaming for fluffiness, appear in the Indian works only after 1250 CE.

So what is a Rava Idli? As per Wikipedia, Rava Idli is a variation of the popular South Indian Breakfast Idli, made with semolina also known as Rava in many parts of India. Legend has it that during World War-II, when there was a shortage of rice to make Idlis, MTR experimented with semolina/rava and the outcome was the delicious and soft Rava Idli
MTR Rava Idli – Instant Breakfast Mix is magic inside a packet. MTR is bringing hot and delicious idlis to your breakfast table in a more efficient way. Say goodbye to the traditional method of picking the rice and dal, soaking the ingredients, grinding them fine, fermenting for long hours and finally steaming to get the perfectly soft and exquisite Idlis.
Once you try the MTR way of making Rava Idlis, I promise that you will never go back to the traditional way of making these.
Just snip the packet open, take a cup of the MTR Rava Idli mix and add half a cup of sour curd / yogurt. Stir well to remove all lumps and let the batter rest for 1 minute. Add another cup of sour curd/yogurt, repeat the stirring and now let it rest for about 2 minutes. All you need to do now is to pour the batter into Idli moulds and steam for 12 to 15 minutes. Voila! Mouth-watering and appetizing Rava Idlis appear on your family table in no time. Isn’t that magic?

Life is complicated; our recipes need to be simple.
My children love Idlis. Earlier they had to wait for one complete day before they could savor the hot and delicious Idlis, and it was not a pleasant wait with constant nagging, “Is it done yet? When can we eat it?” Moreover, grinding it fine part, drove me crazy with the time consumption. When I tried MTR Rava Idli Instant Breakfast Mix, it was not only instant and efficient, but they had the perfect texture, moisture, and taste. Open the packet, mix packet contents with “sour” curd/yogurt, steam and done. Now, no more pre-planning, no more soaking and grinding, just snap your finger and piping hot idlis are served at the table.
My girls exclaimed with joy, “Mom, these are the best Rava Idlis ever.” The Idlis were devoured in no time, leaving breakfast table empty and the food champions seated on it, very contented. If I call MTR my Sunday Breakfast “Genie”, then I am completely confessing to it.
I am sure that MTR Rava Idli Instant Breakfast Mix will make your family exclaim with joy – Sunday Ho Toh Aisa!

I’m lactose intolerant. Is there any way to make this without the curd? I have tried, but just water makes it too runny.
