This recipe was shared with by our "Ammayi" but with little variation.Actually,she is a very cute friend of mine. It is good to use Bombay rava or the fine one available at the Indian stores.

rava- 1cup
Curd- 1 cup
water- 1+1cups

coriander leaves

For Tadka:
oil- 1tsp
mustard seeds- 1/8 tsp
grated ginger- 1/4 tsp
green chillies-2 chopped finely
jeera- 1/4 tsp
sesame seeds- 1/4 tsp
urad dal- 1/4 tsp
channa dal - 1/4tsp

Powder oats.In a bowl mix oats, rava,salt, curd, ginger and 1 cup water .
Heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds, ginger,chillies,curry leaves urad dal,jeera and channa dal.
Add this tadka and mix well into normal dosa consistency.Leave it aside for 30 minutes.
The rava will absorb all the curd and water.Before making idlis just add little water and mix well.
