Samba rava idly, broken wheat idly, an instant idly recipe that gets ready in minutes. No grinding or fermenting needed. Quick and easy breakfast recipe.

Quick and easy breakfast recipe

Idly is the Best Dish : Ask any South-Indian!

Idly or idli, steamed savory rice cake. A very popular breakfast in India, mainly south-india. There are many small road side shops and carts, that make a brisk business with just idli, sambar and chutney all through the day.

You cannot imagine a south-indian house without dly/dosa. Almost every one of them will have a dabba of idly/dosa batter for emergencies in their fridge.

We make idli out of anything, yes there is regular idli made by soaking rice and dal, grinding and fermenting it. Then we have our instant idlies, like this rava idli , Bulgur instant idly, Instant oats idli, couscous idli .

Instant idlies are a blessing when we run out of our usual idly/dosa batter. These quick idly recipes are quite handy when we are stuck with the thought of what to make that doesn't take much time in the kitchen.

Today's godhumai rava idli, makes a wonderful lunchbox meal. I usually pack it with idli podi for my kids. If they ask for chutney then this tomato chutney and peanut chutney is their absolute favorite.

Chutney for your Idli

  • Thakkali Chutney
    Tomato Chutney | Condiment | Vegan
  • Parangikai Chutney/Pumpkin Chutney for idly/dosa
  • Capsicum chutney - Side dish for idly/dosa
  • Coconut and Carrot Chutney - Side dish for idly/dosa

What is Samba Rava

Samba wheat rawa is made from pure Samba variety wheat/ Emmer Wheat / Khapli Wheat, including the skin of the wheat which contains many B Complex Vitamins and the sooji wheat rawa is made from ordinary wheat.

It is a low GI food. It also has twice as much fiber and protein that keeps you full for longer, reduces you hunger pangs, and thus a great grain for diabetics.

As a personal belief I consider every food group as healthy, they provide nutrients to your body. Just because we frame a food healthy, doesn’t mean we can eat them without any limits. So enjoy all food groups within limits

Ingredients

  • 1 cup samba rava | broken wheat | dalia
  • ½ cup thick curd
  • ½ cup buttermilk / full fat laban
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup carrot shredded
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda or Eno
  • ¾ teaspoon salt to taste

Tempering

  • ½ teaspoon oil any vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds/kadugu
  • ⅛ teaspoon hing/asafoetida
  • few curry leaves

Instructions

  • Dry roast samba rava in a pan until it is nicely warm and gives out a toasty aroma.
  • Take the roasted rava in a wide bowl. Let it cool down for 5 minutes. To this now add curd, buttermilk and water and whisk well to form a batter
  • Let his batter sit covered for 5-10minutes. To this now add shredded carrots and mix.
  • Heat a small tadka pan, add oi, when it is hot, splutter mustard seeds, hing and curry leaves. Add this hot tadka to the samba rava mix and stir,
  • Add baking soda or eno to the batter and give it a brisk stir. Heat a idli pot/pressure pan for steaming idli with water.
  • Grease the idli moulds with gingely oil. Pour ladle of batter in each idli hole. steam cook for 8-10 minutes.
  • After the said time, the idli will be cooked well. A tooth pick inserted in the middle of the cooked idli must come out clean, that shows it is done.
  • Take it off the heat, let it sit in the same pan for 2 minutes. Then remove the idlies from the moulds to a serveware,
  • Serve the idli warm with idli podi and chutney of your choice.

Notes

  1. I got around 12 idlies with the above amount. This also depends on the size of the idli. 
  2. I make only 1 cup of rava at a time, so i get to finsih it in one go. I normally dont't recommend storing the batter with leaveners added. You can make idli and refrigerate in an air-tight box for 2-3 days too. 
  3. While serving from fridge, sprinkle water and reheat it in a microwave for 30 seconds or you can steam for a minute or two. 
  4. If you like you can also add some roasted cashewnuts to the batter. We prefer rava idli with minimal garnishes. I sometimes even skip the tadka and the carrots too, it will look almost similar to the regular rice and dal idli. 
 

Serving Suggestions

Our first choice is always idly podi, if we want chutney then this peanut chutney and Tomato chutney is our absolute favorite. 
This soft and fluffy instant idli made with broken wheat makes an excellent meal for school luncboxes. I have made them numerous times and zero complaints so far.
