Transfer the rava to a bowl, add the buttermilk and salt. Mix well and keep aside till the time you are about to make the idlies.

Heat water in the idli pan, slightly grease the idli plates and keep little carrots & cashews in each plates.

Mix the eno fruit salt and little water to adjust the consistency of the rava batter.

Keep the plates in the idlipot, heat it for a minute(this helps the stem to block the holes in the idli plate) then pour the batter to 3/4th of the idli plate.

Steam cook it for 8-10 minutes.

Take the idlies from the idli plate once it cooled completely. Enjoy the fluffy n spicy rava idlies with your choice of Chutney / Sambar .

We had it with Beetroot chutney and Kara chutney.
