13) Immediately add this tempering towards the prepared batter.
15) Following this 15-twenty minutes resting time, you will see that sooji absorbed the majority of the water. And also the batter is actually thick. So add some water to create batter consistency. You might need about to cup water.
17) Now prepare the steamer. Add glassful water within the steamer or idli oven, take it to some simmer.
18) During the time of steaming or making the idli, add eno fruit salt and sprinkle little water on the top. It will begin to bubble immediately. Rapidly mix rid of it.

21) Take away the idli stand from steamer and allow it to are a symbol of 2-3 minutes. Then using knife or spoon, take away the idlis in the moulds.

Serving suggestion: Serve rava idli with coconut chutney or the selection of any chutney like a breakfast or brunch. It may be offered with chutney podi too. To really make it an easy meal (lunch/dinner), serve idli with chutney and sambar .
Notes:
- Always add eno fruit salt before steaming. Meaning add some eno towards the batter, mix, immediately pour into moulds and steam. Don't let the batter sit after adding eno.
- If making bigger batch and streaming into batches, then take away the one part of batter in another bowl, add eno to that particular batter only and steam. When ready for second batch, add eno towards the second part of batter and steam.
- Rather of eno, you should use sodium bicarbonate. If using sodium bicarbonate adding to teaspoon from it.
- Always steam the idlis on medium heat to obtain the soft idlis.
- To create jain idlis, skip ginger root within the recipe.
- For that variation, you can include veggies (e.g. chopped carrots, beans, cabbage, broccoli or eco-friendly peas) within the batter.
