Instant Rava Idly & Quick Sambhar

For Rava Idly:
In 1 tbsp oil, fry the cashew halves and keep aside. Ready all the tempering ingredients.

In the oil add rai, chana dal, urad dal, chopped ginger, chopped green chillies, chopped curry leaves, chopped kaju and hing. Add in rava and mix well. Cook on slow gas for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a container and cool completely.

Add in 1 bowl curd and some water and prepare a batter. Cover and rest the batter for 15-20 minutes. The batter will thicken on resting. Meanwhile,prepare SI coconut chutney and ready all the Quick Sambhar ingredients.

Crush diced vegetables, tamarind, garlic and masalas to a paste. Chop 1 onion and keep the sambhar tempering ingredients ready. In oil add rai. When it splitters add in jira, methi seeds.

Add curry leaves and dry red chillies and hing. Add in 1 chopped onion and saute for 3 minutes. Now add in the vegetable-masala paste.

Add in pumpkin pieces and salt and saute well for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are well cooked. Now add in 2 cups of water and mix. Bring to a boil

Prepare a roasted besan slurry with 1/2 cup water. Add into the boiling sambhar. Stir to avoid lumps.

Add in chilli powder and jaggery and boil for 5 more minutes. Lastly, add coriander and tasty Quick sambhar is ready.

Steaming Rava Idlies:
Add 1/2-3/4 cup water to the batter and adjust the consistency. Add Eno into the batter and mix. Grease idly stand with oil and place a fried kaju half in each cavity.

Now pour batter into idly stand and place it in a readied idly cooker with water boiling inside. I also made a Tattai Idly.

Steam idlies for 12-15 minutes until the inserted knife comes out clean.

Take the idlies and serve hot with Quick Sambhar and SiI chutney
Enjoy with family and friends
Happy Cooking!!😊
