Comment by tanzil khan
liked ur recipe , just wanted to know whether we can store the batter for a day or 2
Reply :- yes you can store for a maximum of 2 days. |
Comment by Savitha Harish Do we need to soak the batter after we mix rava in the sour curd? Reply :- Yes. Its a good idea to soak for atleast 5 minutes so that the rava absorbs the moisture. |

Comment by Uma Sivakumar on 02 February 2010 00:31AM Hi Dahliaji,
Great recipe ,rava is that normal suji or do we have separate rava for preparation of idli Reply :- Rava idli is made with normal suji....
Just for your information, normal idlis can be made with idli rava... Idli rava is coarsely ground rice. |
Comment by Ninette D'Souza on 13 December 2009 14:42PM Great recipes on the site. Just wanted to check whether Eno could be used instead of baking soda. All the best. Reply :- Hi Ninnette, I've never tried using Eno. I guess it should work. Do let us know if you try it. |
