I never heard about this Idli. Is this Rava Idli in Telugu? No..the recipe given is somewhat different. I never even tried it. Idly prepared without rice is really amazing. There must be some other name for this in Telugu. I will google it.

In Rava Idli, there will be many vegetable pieces added. The idli will be made of Rava. We prepare the batter and mix the vegetables (half cooked) and when this is steamed for 10 minutes the Rava Idli will be ready.

Can we follow the above procedure adding all other vegetable pieces (half boiled) and prepare this dish?.

What will be the side dish for this item?
