Rava idli is made from semolina (rava) instead of rice. It is easy to prepare and doesn’t require fermentation. These idlis are light, fluffy and often spiced with mustard seeds and curry leaves.
This special idli originates from the town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. It is flavoured with cumin seeds, pepper, ginger, and curry leaves which giving it a unique and aromatic taste. It is often served with chutney or sambar.
Ragi (finger millet) idlis are the healthier version of the traditional idli. They are created by adding ragi flour to the regular idli batter which makes them rich in calcium and fibre.
Poha (flattened rice) idlis are soft and fluffy. Poha is soaked and blended with the regular idli batter. This variation is great for those who prefer a lighter texture with mild flavour.
Vegetable idlis are a colourful and nutritious twist on the traditional idli. Finely chopped vegetables like carrots, beans, peas, and bell peppers are mixed into the batter. These idlis are really visually appealing.
Oats idlis are a healthy alternative created with oats, semolina, and yogurt. They are packed with fibre and nutrients, making them a great option for health-conscious individuals.
Stuffed idlis are filled with a variety of fillings, such as spiced potatoes, vegetables, or paneer. The stuffing adds an exciting surprise and burst of flavours to the idlis.
