My mom tried this out and told me a real quick Idli to savor whenever there is a time crunch. The below recipe makes 5-6 Idlis.
Idli Rava - 1 cup
Spinach - 1 bunch or 2 cups
Freshly grated coconut or Desiccated or Coc0nut milk- 1/2 cup
Cooking Soda - a pinch
Salt - to taste
Curds - 1 cup or less
1. Dry roast Idli Rava in a pan for 5 minutes or until you get a nice flavour of rava
2. Take a cup and a half of water in pan and heat this. Add Spinach and let it rest for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Drain the blanched spinach and grind in blender with a freshly grated coconut or Desiccated coconut.
3. Add curds, salt and cooking soda if you are making them immediately and the batter should be of Idli batter consistency. If you plan to steam it later may be after 4-5 hrs then you can skip adding soda.
4. Add the batter in Idli Stand and steam this in a cooker for 20 minutes.
5. Allow the Idlis to rest for a while before scooping them out.
6. Serve this with Mint chutney.
