1. 先把所有的材料该切丁的切丁,该擦丝的擦丝,越细越好。在一个大盆里加入食盐、酸奶、硬麦粉、水、泡打粉和三大匙的油,搅拌均匀后,放到一边10-15分钟备用。

2. 另起一口小锅,热上两大匙油,把淋油里的所有材料用中火炸香后倒入刚刚的面糊里,混匀备用。

3. 这个时候可以准备蒸锅,把面糊分别倒在整盘至九分满,这个蒸糕不会发得很厉害,所以九分满就刚刚好。也可以用中型的辣椒碟子当整盘。


4. 大火上汽后上锅蒸18分钟。可以直接出锅,比较不烫手的时候,用汤匙沿着周边划一圈,就可以很容易脱模摆盘。

Rava Idli可以沾薄荷沾酱,椰子沾酱,或者豆子汤吃,净吃也很香。


1. Prepare ingredients as needed. In a big mixing bowl, mix together everything listed under ingredients into a smooth batter, and leave it aside for 10-15.

2. In a small saucepan, heat about 2 tbsp of oil, shallow fry everything listed under tempering till fragrant and pour it into the batter, mix well.

3. Half fill a steam cooker with water, bring to boil. Fill steamer plate with batter to about 90% full, you can use small chilli plates to steam this cake too.

4. Steam the cake for 18 minutes at high heat, remove the cake from the plate when it is slightly cooled.
