Rava Idli – Semolina Idli recipe

I used to use ready made mix for rawa idli after few of my failed attempt (at the beginning of my  cooking years) For the purpose of blog posting the recipe I hv requested for ENO salt from my friend who came from India recently and I tried today from scratch. To my surprise it came out pretty well
