Ragi Rava Idli

Ragi or Finger millet is very nutritious and rich in calcium. Ragi idli is a healthy variation to the regular rice idli.This is a totally diabetic friendly recipe. I make ragi idli and ragi dosa when we are in the mood for something different than our regular idlis and dosas.

Ingredients: 1cup ragi flour
                    3cups medium rava
                    3green chillies finely chopped
                    4tsp channa dal
                    2tsp mustard seeds
                    5tsp oil
                    1cup curd
                    a pinch of cooking soda
                    salt to taste

Method: 1)heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds, when they splutter add channa dal, green chillies and
                  fry for a minute.
              2)add ragi flour and rava, in a low flame fry exactly for 3min. allow it to cool.
              3)add curd, salt, cooking soda and mix well by adding water if required to form a idli batter.
                 make sure no lumps are formed.
              4)grease the idli pot with little oil and steam the idlis for 10-15min.
