Rave Idli

 Most of our south Indians will know about Rave Idli .

One of the best place to taste south indian morning break fast , is Mavalli Tiffin Room (MTR) which has traditional recipes in menu as well the taste remains same through out all these years.

Amma got this recipe of Rava Idli from one of her friend, and found to be good out come.

Later on, Since the taste of those rava idlis in MTR and Priyadharshini (One of the hotel in Bangalore with most of our politicians.. :))and many more hotels which serve the best Rava idlis was yet to reach by mom..

Dad suggested to add Dill leaves and some minor modifications..... which was no were less than MTR recipe...
