Rava idli (Kannada: , also rave idli) is a variation of the

popular South Indian breakfast item, idli, made withrava (semolina) or Bombay
rava.
History[edit]
It is a speciality of the state of Karnataka in India and the popular restaurant
chain, Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (MTR) ofBangalore claims to have invented
it.[1] According to Mavalli Tiffin Rooms, during World War II, when rice, which is
the staple item used in idli, was in short supply, they experimented in
making idli using semolina and created rava idli.
Rava-idli translates to semolina-idli in the native Kannada language. It is
usually found in restaurants that serve Udupi cuisine. Rave idli is served hot
and is to be eaten along with saagu and coconut chutney. A dash
of ghee poured on the top of rava idli adds to the overall taste.
