My name is Archana, I'm an Indian grad student who lives in the US and maintains this blog. I like to cook, bake and offlate, take photos as well. I promise a photo-ridden blog soon - for now, it's got just text. Cooking for me is more a passion than a necessity and I hate following recipes as I think it comes in the way of being creative. That being said, have fun trying these recipes!

Tofu Spinach Rava Idli

So its always bothered me that rava idli has nothing but rava in it, and I tried to make it healthier(and also finish the tofu I had at home which is going to expire in a few days).

1/2 cup tofu
1 cup rava
1/4 tsp oil
1 tsp chana dal
1/4 tsp mustard
1 pinch hing
2-3 chopped green chilies
some curry leaves
chopped coriander
chopped spinach(finely chopped)
1 cup sour curd

1. Blend the rava and the tofu in a mixie.
2. Heat the oil in a pan. Add mustard, chana dal, hing, curry leaves and wait until the mustard splutters. Put this in a bowl.
3. Saute the rava in the pan with a few drops of oil until it is light brown.
4. Blend the rava, tofu and yoghurt in a mixie just to make sure they are uniformly mixed.
5. Mix this with the rest of the ingredients - adding a little water to get the consistency of idli batter.
6. Make idlis as usual.
