Well the recipe is not as long as the name itself is the humour in this food. i came across this recipe in Shyla’s kitchen. I had tried it earlier and it was tasty . The original recipe calls for rava , while i made with it the first time., this time for today’s breakfast i used wheat rava, as i had only that in my hand. Having taken the 21 days raw vegan detox challenge i am now cautious about food and calories.(:
It is good to use Idly Maavu for one day only . At the most i could use it within two days. Making paniyaaarams the next day finishes the maavu. So for breakfast i have to go for instant food. Oats Idly, Wheat Dosa are some choices. If i come across anything new and instant i will post here. And nothing can match our Idly, Dosai fora healthy and a sumptuous meal is the ultimate Truth.

Method:
1. Grind green chilli, coriander leaves and half a cup of grated cucumber to a fine paste. No need to add water while grinding.

7.Leave the mixture to stand for 20 minutes.
8. After 20 minutes grease the Idli plates with oil and boil water in the idly cooker.
9. Mean while add the curd to the mixture and mix well. There will be no need for water.
10. The original recipe called for eno esalt , No need for that .
11. Cucumber itself will give that necessary water content and softness.
12. Pour the Mixture in the idly plates and cook in medium flame for 10 minutes.
13. If you steam one plate at a time the edges will be fine . Otherwise it become soggy.
14.Needless to say with adjectives like soft , malligai poo as by using oats , cucumber and wheat rava we get really soft Idlis.We can create magic in the kitchen .
Tried this with Onion and Tomato chutney.
