Semolina is known as rava in Tamil and suji in Hindi. Rava idli is one of my family's favourite breakfast. I follow the famous Mrs Mallika Badhrinath's recipe for rava idli. It is a fool proof recipe and I have shared this many of my friends.
I have tried many variations with this basic recipe and I have never been disappointed with my attempts. This is one such variation from my kitchen. It's more healthier and wholesome as ragi and oats are added along with rava and can be made instantly:)

Oats- 1/4th cup
Ragi- 1/4th cup
