Rava or sooji idli

Idlis are my favorite. But when i don’t have time to prepare rice idli and want something quick for myself i have rava idlis. Rava idli is an another form of South Indian idli. This is a specialty of Karnataka. Best part is that it needs no grinding, soaking and fermentation. Rava idlis goes well with sambhar.
