yes you are right—on one of my visits to bangalore I visited the famous MTR “”mavalli tiffin room” the wait was long –when we finally were served–this was one of the items the Rava idli with the potaoes. At the time I remember remarking to my husband that this was a strange combination –I had never eaten idlis with potato bhaji before. We had so much food served to us —I had to roll out of there—— I was’nt good for much else that day because I was sooooo full.

Idli + potato saagu is a new combo for me. Pooro or chapathi + potato curry is such a famous pair that we hardly think of any other combination. Love both.

Cheers,

Hmmmm, tried making rava idlis today with idli rava. But the idlis didn’t bind very well, they broke while removing the idlis from the idli plates , no they were not sticking to the plate. The idlis were soft, but they didn’t become fluffy I feel they were not fermented properly. I didn’t add baking soda, instead put the mix for 2 hours b4 making idlis. Could that be the reason? Thanks.

Thanks Puja for trying this and the feedback. Please note that you need to use Semolina/Rava/Sooji and not Idli Rava for this one. Also the idli do not turn fluffy without the baking soda. There is no need to ferment this. Hope this helps.

what a combo! wouldn’t have thought of it myself. err.. this is not a popular comb like adai-avial is it?

Nags, this is a famous combination in Bangalore as the restaurants serve it this way. I am sure I would have not tthought of this myself .
