Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the instant idli recipe. Firstly, the recipe batter is made with a combination of rice flour and upma rava. Adding rava helps to get the porous texture, however not a mandatory ingredient. You may skip it if you do not like it or do not have it. Secondly, adding sour yogurt or curd helps to get lite or soft idli. Try to add homemade plain yogurt as the store-bought may contain sugar in it. Lastly, the batter has to be semi-thick and consistent. It should not be either thick or thin and follow the traditional idli batter consistency. If you do not have sour yogurt, you may need to rest the batter for 20-30 mins.
