Then add rawa to the seasoning and fry just for few seconds or till you get a nice smell (Need not fry for a long time).
- Cool it and add salt.
- Add beaten curd and soak for only 5 to ten minutes. Put the fruit salt on top of the idli batter and pour one tablespoon water on the fruit salt. Then mix well. If necessary add little water and make the batter like idli batter.

- Also you can add a teaspoon of ghee while seasoning to get the rich ghee taste.

Hi Radha,
"Eno" is a brand name. Fruit salt is a combination of Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid. Popularly used in India as an antacid. It is available in all medical stores.

hi aunty i made coriander idly it came very well thank you very much pls give me idea how to grow arugampul at home and make juice for my husband he is diabetic
Hi Kavitha,
Thank you for kind feed back. In which place do you live. If you are in India, getting Arugampul or arugampul juice is not a problem. If you are outside India, it depends on the weather condition – cold places – you cannot grow it.
Ur recipes are very easy, tasty and healthy for health mam… Thanks for guidance…
Thank you for your kind words.

Hi
tried rawa idli today. It was tasty. However my idlies were not fluffy…pls help me in identifying wherebi went wrong. I hadbtried the second method
Adding “Eno fruit salt” to the batter will definitely make the idli fluffy. I am not sure whether you have added the fruit salt. If you keep the batter for long will also make the idli hard and also only you have to add thick curd and not any water. Please recheck the recipe and try once again to get the perfect idli.
Further to my above reply, please note you can add very little water, if the batter is very thick.
Hi aunty,
i added plain eno salt.
Hi Kamala,
What is the substitute for Eno sugar salt? I have a feeling this is like MSG in noodles. Is that ok to put bicarbonate soda instead of Eno sugar
Hi Neela,
Eno fruit salt is having antiacid product and it is not MSG. If you do not want to use it, then you can add a pinch of soda bicarbonate or totally avoid adding any raising agent.
Mam,
