We all love to have those instant recipes up our sleeve isn’t it. Something that looks very complicated and time-consuming but actually only you  know the trade secret. To have a hearty meal does not mean you need to spend hours in the kitchen to make it. On one such I chanced upon this light and fluffy avalakki idli recipe.
Avalakki idli or aval idli or poha idli is a very good instant recipe to learn and make. It has simple ingredients, mainly avalakki/poha of course. The avalakki/poha is soaked in water for 2-3 minutes and then to give it body we add idli rava or cream of rice which is readily available in departmental stores/supermarkets. To make the avalakki idli soft and fluffy we add some curd and a pinch of baking soda. ... “Avalakki Idli | Poha Idli | Aval Idli | Idli Recipes”

A few months back, I ate a special type of idli with spinach at a restaurant. It was soft, delicious and had a creamy texture in the end. So immediately I had to try making idli with spinach.

Try this spinach oats rava idli and you will love the texture and taste!

Lauki Idli | Sorekayi Idli | Idli Recipes

Soft, healthy and makes for a delicious breakfast, lauki idli or sorekayi idli

Idli is one of the best breakfasts ever to be invented on earth in my opinion. They are so light and fluffy and very nutritious. Adding more nutrition into your idlis, sounds good right? Lauki or bottlegourd or doodhi or sorekayi is a great vegetable. It has so much goodness, so incorporating this goodness into steamed idlis, it gets my thumbs up. Lauki idli is one of the best ways to feed fussy kids with some lauki.
All lauki idli needs is some preparation in the form of soaking some idli rice. Idli rice or fat grained rice is best for this recipe, you can get this type of rice in any Indian grocery store. I have also added some upma rava or sooji into the batter to make the idli light and to give it some extra texture. Lauki cannot be seen or detected in this idli and when you steam the lauki idli it brings a sweet aroma. ... “Lauki Idli | Sorekayi Idli | Idli Recipes”

Mini and fun to eat, drizzle with ghee or dunk in sambar, super tasty mini idlis

As a kid when I used to go to hotels or darshinis (few & far between), I always ended up ordering masala dosa. But I used to be always fascinated by nice looking dishes like mini idlis served with tiffin sambar and chutney. Those mini idlis served with ghee and piping hot sambar is a sight!
Not to worry, making mini idlis might seem like a difficult task. I have always found that we, as home cooks get intimidated by making something mini or miniature in size. It somehow becomes a daunting task although we can rustle up big batches of meals to serve a crowd. Making these mini idlis is not that difficult after all. It is essentially idli recipe but made into mini idlis. ... “Mini Idlis | Baby Idli | Hotel Style Mini Idli | Idli Recipes”
