Ingredients for poha idli/ aval idli:

Poha – 1 cup
Curd – 1 cup
Rava – 1 cup
Water as required
Salt to taste
Mustard seeds – 2 tsp
Cashew – 6-8
Oil – 2 tsp
Urad dal – 2 tsp
Curry leaves – 4-5
ENO – 1 sachet

Method:

Firstly, take a grinder, put poha in it, grind it well and whisk the curd until it turns smooth.

Now, take a bowl, put poha, and curd in it, and mix well.

After that, we will add rava (semolina), salt, and water to it and prepare a thick batter. Keep the batter at rest for 20 – 25 minutes until the water gets absorbed. Then, we will add some water to it and mix it well.

Then we will prepare tempering (tadka). For this, we will heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, curry leaves, cashew, and urad dal and roast for 1-2 minutes. Then we will add this tempering to our prepared idli batter. It will make our idli so much tasty.

Now, we will add ENO and mix well quickly.

Then, grease the idli maker and heat water in a vessel for steaming the idli.

Pour the batter into the idli maker and place it in boiling water. Don’t keep the idli maker when the water is not very hot otherwise, idli will not get cooked properly.

Now, cover the vessel with a lid and wait for 10 minutes.

Your yummy, fluffy, and healthy idlis are ready. Enjoy them with coconut chutney, mint coriander chutney, or with your favorite chutney.
