Instant Rava Idli-Bangalore darshini style

Instant,healthy and yummy!...This rave idli comes out really soft and spongy and tastes like the one you get in Bengaluru darshini/café.Usually served with bombay sagu/potato gravy and chutney.Healthy and yummy breakfast idea!.We love these kind of quick fixes rite?:-)

You can also cut them into pieces and enjoy your evening snack.

I would say this is one of the best kids recipes/lunch box idea
