Hi, I am Kanika, I have been writing for MyLittleMoppet for quite a some time now and I want to share with you this yummy yet easy Instant Rava Idli Recipe today.
I belong to a north Indian family so we neither have Idli, Dosa batter made at home nor do we get it in market here in Ludhiana.
I am a die hard fan of South Indian food.I usually prepare Rava idli instantly whenever I feel like having it.
I made it first time for my son with a smiley yesterday and he exclaimed Wow !! on seeing this colorful face and gobbled up one whole idli without me running after him.

Hi,
Can idli with fruit salt be given to a 10 month old?
Dr Hemapriya says
Hi Richa,
You can skip the fruit salt for babies
Garima says
But Dr without fruit salt it becomes very sticky and baby does not like it. Is baking soda good for 10 months baby.
Garima says
Or baking powder
