Avalakki Idli

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.


So with such simple ingredients we can quickly make the batter and then when the avalakki idli is steaming we can make a chutney. Choose from any recipe of chutney you like and you will definitely like it. If you have more time make this wonderful tiffin sambar to accompany your idlis. Try more instant recipes:
