I have been relying on MTR Rava Idly mix until last week when I decided to prepare it from scratch. It took around 10 minutes to prepare the battar. Such a simple dish and it is tastier and colorful than the plain idli. The following measurement makes around 14 idlis

Instructions
- Heat a frying pan with 2 tbsp of ghee and one by one add all the items mentioned under "For Tadka"
- Let them splutter and then add Rava. Mix it with all other ingredients and let it be in the pan until you get a nice aroma of semolina.
- Remove them from the pan and transfer it to a bowl. Let it cool down to room temperature.
- Mix curd,coconut,coriander leaves and water to the above mixture. Make a slightly thick batter
- Add salt,lime juice and baking soda to this mixture. Lime and baking soda helps in fermenting the batter and also the idlis will be smoother.
- Now grease the Idly plates with cooking oil.
- Place grated carrot, tomatoes on the plates and then pour the batter.
- Pressure cook the idlys for about 10 minutes. Let it cool for another 10 minutes.
- Colourful rava idlys are ready to be served with any chutney. I prepared coconut chutney and hence its in the pic.
