poha idli recipe | instant poha rava idli | avalakki idli with step by step photo and video recipe. in india, breakfast recipes are mainly made with different types of steamed south indian cuisine breakfast meals. mainly it is made with a combination of rice and lentil with an optional fermentation process which adds the necessary flavour and taste to it. yet there are other instant and cheat variant to these traditional recipes and poha idli or avalakki idli is one such simple variant.
well almost everyone has faced this challenge! early morning during, the rush hour time and you may have forgotten to prep for morning breakfast. or perhaps you may get a sudden requirement or request to make soft and puffy idli and you do not have the batter ready. previously i used to get stressed whenever i face such situations, but now i have a solution to it. it is one of the simplest and easy idli recipe made with poha and idli rice. it hardly takes minutes to prepare the batter and in no time soft idli’s are ready. moreover, it does not require any fancy ingredients and can be done with basic ingredients available in almost all the indian kitchen. you may serve these idli’s with spicy coconut chutney or with a choice of sambar as it just melts in your mouth.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the aval idli recipe. firstly, i have used thin poha which is easy to use and get dissolved when mixed with moisture or curd. you may also use thick or medium poha, but you may need to soak in and ground it in a mixer grinder. secondly, i would heavily recommend using sour curd or yoghurt which not only adds the sour taste to the idli but also helps to hasten the fermentation reaction. if you do not have it, you may add 2-3 tsp of lemon juice to make it sour. lastly, with this post, i have shown how to make a mint and coriander coconut chutney. i feel this combination is ideal, to begin with, but you may select any choice of spicy chutney or sambar to go with. with chutney, i would heavily recommend using watery chutney so that it can be easily consumed.
