Plain Rava (Sooji) Idli is another tiffin item that can be prepared during the Shaka Vrata period.

Ingredients

Sooji (Rava) – 1 Cup
Ghee – ½ Tablespoon
Sour Curd/Buttermilk – 1 ½ Cup
Cumin Seeds – ½ Tablespoon
Pepper Powder – ½ Tablespoon
Salt – As required

Roast Sooji (Rava) in a Kadai with Ghee and keep it aside.
Take one and half cup of Sour Curd/buttermilk. If you are taking Sour Curd make sure that you mash all the lumps.
Now add the Roasted Sooji (Rava), Cumin Seeds, Pepper Powder and Salt and mix it as a batter. Leave it aside.
If the Curd/Buttermilk that you added is really Sour, then it is enough if you let it aside for 10-15 minutes. If it is not Sour, then let the batter aside for 45 mts to 1 hr.
Use Idly Cooker and steam cook this batter as Idlis.
