VEGAN RAVA IDLI WITH ENO FRUIT SALT I RAVA IDLI WITHOUT CURD I BREAKFAST RECIPES

Rava idli was in my to-do list for long time, I craved to taste the idli but only because of curd I didn’t prepare and have it. Regular readers already knew that I won’t have curd. So, hunting for no-curd method I browsed for long time but I didn’t get what I searched, and then I decided to try out the method. I just replace the curd with water and I finger crossed to see the outcome. Yayyy! Not bad it was come out so soft and spongy. Successfully, I tasted the idli and it was so good and delicious with coconut chutney.
