Idlis are soft and fluffy steamed cakes. They are the ultimate health food which could be had during anytime of the day. Originally idlis are made with ground urad dal and rice batter. However these days there are many varieties of idlis which are available. We have rava idli, moong dal idli, ragi idli, oats idli and what not. What I am making today is a rava idli with veggies and a tempering to add some zing. They are served with some peanut and coriander chutney, a welcome change from the typical coconut chutney.
