Ingredients needed
Oats -1/2 cup (quick cooking oats)
Samba Ravai/cracked wheat -1/2 cup
Sour Curd -1/2 cup
Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp finely chopped
Baking soda/cooking soda – 1/4 tsp (optional)
Salt needed
Water as needed
For the seasoning
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
Bengal gram/channa dal – 3/4 tsp
Urad dal – 1 tsp
Curry leaves – a sprig (tender ones)
Green chillies – 1-2
Ginger – 1 inch piece
Carrot – 1/4 cup grated
Preparation
Dry roast oats on medium heat until it is hot to touch. Leave it to cool and then powder it. Dry roast cracked wheat rava (samba godhumai ravai) for 2-3 minutes on low heat and leave it to cool.
Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, when it splutters, add channa dal and urad dal.
When dal turns golden brown, add finely chopped ginger, green chillies, curry leaves and grated carrot. Saute for a few seconds and remove from heat. Leave it to cool.
Method
In a bowl, mix together, powdered oats, cracked wheat, chopped coriander leaves and the seasoning with the carrots.
Add plain yogurt or curd and salt needed. Mix everything together.
Add water to get an idly batter consistency (neither too thick not too thin). Let it sit for 20-30 minutes. If needed add more water after 30 minutes to get the idly batter consistency.
Add baking soda and mix well. This is optional.
Bring water to boil in an idli pan and pour a small ladle of batter in the greased idli moulds. Steam cook for 25 minutes or until the idli is cooked. This idly will take longer time to get cooked than the regular idlis.
Once done, remove the idlis from the mould and serve hot with any chutney of your choice.
Note – Baking soda is not necessary if you ferment it for 30 minutes. Only if you want to make instant idlis, you need to add baking soda.

Nice one I love preparing dishes with wheat rava
Thanks for a really delicious and healthy recipe.
I tried a few days back but the idlis came out really soggy though I steamed it for 25-30 min. They tasted really good anyway. Hope to get it better next time..:)
I assume that the water kept for steaming would have made the idlis soggy. Keep the heat on medium when steaming this idli. Keep the idli pan only after the water comes to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
Thank you so much.
U solved a major issue… I am not allowed bakimg soda or eno or fruit salt…all receipes asked me to use one for rava idli…thnks
Can the batter be made overnight and used in the morning?
Instant versions are best when used immediately.
