Again these cornmeal idlis were born out of necessity to make quick idlis without using rava/semolina.As semolina/rava idlis are quick to make but they are made of wheat(my daughter is allergic to wheat), so to eliminate wheat from the recipe I replaced the semolina/rava with fine cornmeal but otherwise just followed the rava idli recipe.
There, I created a new quick recipe to cater to my daughters need for gluten free and my crunch for time.
I liked the beautiful natural yellow hue of these idlis, without any addition of turmeric powder/haldi powder.
These Idlis can be enjoyed by all and is not limited to just for people with gluten allergy only.
Looks soft & perfect.........my corn meal looks very hard.Any way to make it softer?Or is there any other kind of cornmeal for making these idlys?
ReplyDeleteVery Nice. I am glad you could come up with this easy version for your daughter.
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious!! Very good!!
ReplyDeleteSrimathi - thanks, yes the traditional rice idlis r always there but there r quick n easy.
ReplyDeleteSailaja - they do turn out very soft, I use the regular fine cornmeal, I do not roast the cornmeal and I use Eno instead of baking soda, otherwise I follow the same procedure as rava idli.
Api - Thanks.
Hi Mayuri,
ReplyDeleteGood idea! tumbled onto your blog through google search. First time in the foreign country, I mistook this cornmeal to idli rawa and was making idlis with this and was wondering why my idlies are not coming up with the same old taste, until someone , after a few years, told me that the corn meal is different to normal rava.
Thanks for making me think I didn't at last made a complete blunder.
