Idli in Chilli Garlic Vegetable Sauce

To prepare rawa idlis, follow the package instructions or use your preferred method. Typically, you will need to mix the rawa (semolina) with yogurt and water to form a batter, let it rest, and then steam it in an idli maker or a steamer until fluffy and cooked through.

If you don't have rawa idli, you can substitute it with store-bought idlis or even use steamed rice cakes. For the mixed vegetables, feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini or broccoli. You can also replace soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.

Yes, this dish can easily be made vegan by ensuring that the idlis are made without yogurt or using a plant-based yogurt alternative. Additionally, check that your sauces are free from animal products, which is usually the case with soy sauce and tomato sauce.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until heated through. You may want to add a splash of water to keep the idlis moist while reheating.

Idli in Chilli Garlic Vegetable Sauce pairs well with a side of crispy papadums or a fresh cucumber salad. You can also serve it with a tangy chutney or a spicy pickle to enhance the flavors of the dish.
