Corn Rava Idli -Steamed semolina muffins with corn,cashews and mild spices-a specialty from South India

Idlis and dosa are the most popular breakfast from South India.Regular idlis are made with  a batter of rice and white lentils,which need pre preparation.
Rava idli is an instant Idli which require no preparation,just add some yogurt and tempering in semolina (cream of wheat)wait for 15 minutes and then the Idlis are ready to steam.These Idlis are easy to digest, light on stomach and a low fat snack .
You can use any vegetables of your choice to make them healthy and colourful vegetable rava Idli . You can serve them any time as a snack,brunch,lunch,dinner,travel food, and a great tiffin/lunch box recipe for kids.

    @Sheryn-Hi Sheryn..slightly sour means one day old yoghurt,you can also use fresh yoghurt, just add 2-3 drops of lemon juice in it

    Yay! Coconut chutney! I can't wait to try this, although I can already say I'm going to be real confused because I am unfamiliar with Indian cooking and don't recognize many of the ingredients.

    When you say "slightly soured" yogurt, is that something that you buy?
