Samba Ravai Upma used to be a regular dinner menu for us atleast once a week. Have been meaning to try some other recipes using this Daliya/Broken Wheat. Taking inspiration from the regular Rava Idli I made this Broken Wheat Idli along with Oats. It turned out to be delicious. You can make this Idli either with Instant Yeast or Baking Soda+Lemon Juice. Adding them helps in giving the right texture to Idli. To the idli batter we can also add veggies of our choice. This makes it a wholesome, nutritious and filling breakfast. I have tried the recipe with both these options and the idlis turned out well either ways. Based on the availability of the ingredients you can choose your option.
You can serve this Idli with Coconut Chutney, Kaara Chutney or Tiffin Sambar. If you are looking for any other Instant Idli option then check this Instant Oats & Millet flour based Idli recipe.
-
Always powder the Oats before adding it to the batter. In case if you don’t have Oats you can skip it and make this Idli with just Broken Wheat
-
In a pan dry roast Samba Ravai/Dalia before prepping the batter. Roasting helps in removing the raw smell of Dalia and also it helps in speeding up the cooking time
-
If you are using yeast you don’t have to rest the batter much. Within 15 minutes you can start making Idlis
-
When using Lemon Juice + Baking Soda combo instead of yeast you might have to reat the batter for atleast 45 minutes to one hour.
-
You can add cashewnuts and veggies of your choice. Roast them well before adding it to the batter.
