Hi, I am Kanika, I have been writing for MyLittleMoppet for quite a some time now and I want to share with you this yummy yet easy Instant Rava Idli Recipe today.
I belong to a north Indian family so we neither have Idli, Dosa batter made at home nor do we get it in market here in Ludhiana.
I am a die hard fan of South Indian food.I usually prepare Rava idli instantly whenever I feel like having it.
I made it first time for my son with a smiley yesterday and he exclaimed Wow !! on seeing this colorful face and gobbled up one whole idli without me running after him.
