Today’s dish Dill leaves Idli fits perfectly to this criteria s . i had shared before cucumber idli .. these are similar to that .Addition of dill leaves makes it very healthy , enhances the flavour and taste .  They remain soft even when carried in lunchbox.

Few Points to note while making Dill Leaves Idli

• If you don’t have rice rava, you can make it at home like this: Soak raw rice for 1hr. Drain water completely. Spread it on a cloth or paper towel for about 10 mins,so that the grains become dry. Grind the rice in a mixer to a coarse consistency.Home made rice rava is ready..
• Instead of rice rava you van do this with normal upma rava too. Procedure is same .
• The batter of idli should not be watery. It will make the idlis soggy. In case cucumber leaves more water, the mixture becomes watery, add little rava to fix it.
• Setting aside of 30 mins – 1 hour is important . Else the texture of idly will be dry n they would be hard.
• Instead of dill leaves you can add grated sweet pumpkin / grated carrot . For savory versions, you can also do it with dill leaves. They all taste awesome.
