Vegetable Rawa Idli recipe is a healthy recipe twist to the plain rawa idli and perfect breakfast to start our day.  As recipe name suggests the vegetable rawa idli is made with vegetable and rawa as main ingredient. Let's checkout the recipe with its method and all the ingredients. 

Vegetable Rawa Idli with assorted veggies is a healthy and delicious twist to the regular plain rava idlis and a perfect way to start your day. They are spongy and packed with the nutrition and slight crunchiness of fresh seasonal vegetables. The aromatic tempering pairs up very well with the heat of green chilly and freshness of veggies. Besides, slight sourness of curd tickles your taste buds and combines perfectly with the flavors of nutty peanut coriander chutney , sambhar and rasam.

Did you know, ‘Semolina’ (Rava/sooji) is a significant source of vital vitamins and minerals. It is made with durum wheat, so it is digested slowly. This helps you feel full longer and prevents you from over eating. For those who live an active lifestyle, semolina is a quick and nourishing source of energy.



Let’s plan a perfect South Indian meal for weekend. Serve these spongy vegetable rawa idlis with cucumber uttapam, idli upma and tomato dosa. Pair the meal with sambhar, coconut coriander chutney and Andhra paruppu podi.

For tempering –

  • Oil – 1 ½ tablespoon
  • Chana dal – 1 teaspoon

How to make Vegetable Rawa Idli

  • To begin with making vegetable rava idlis, first we need to roast semolina/rava till pink. There is no need to use any oil while roasting.
  • Transfer to a bowl and combine all the ingredients including chopped veggies(Except ‘Fruit salt’) listed under first category and make a batter with water.
  • Keep it to rest for 10 minutes. The consistency should be of a cake like batter, hence adjust the quantity of water accordingly.
  • While our idli batter is resting, heat about 3-4 cups of water in a steamer and grease the idli moulds with oil.
  • The batter to make idlis is now ready. You can add fruit salt and pour into moulds. But, if you want to make aromatic and spicy idlis, then you need to temper it.
  • For this heat oil in a small pan and add all the spices, lentils and curry leaves. Roast till the lentils turn pink and give out a nice aroma.
  • Pour this tempering into the idli batter and stir. Add fruit salt and stir gently. At this stage, the batter would become light and airy.
  • Fill each cavity in the mould upto 3/4th level with the tempered batter.
  • Now, carefully lift up the mould and place on the steamer. Cover with a lid and steam for 10-15 minutes on medium flame or till the idlis are cooked.
  • Turn off the heat and remove the moulds from the steamer. Let it cool for 5 minutes and remove the idlis with the help of a knife.

Healthy vegetable rava idlis are now ready and taste absolutely fantastic with sambhar, pepper 'rasam' and Andhra podi with ghee.
