VERMICILLI IDLI

Ingredients:

1 cup vermicelli
1/2 cup rava
3/4 cup curd/yogurt
3-4 strands coriander leaves
2-3 green chilies
2 tbsp grated coconut
1 tsp ghee
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
A pinch baking soda

4-5 curry leaves
A pinch asafoetida

Heat ghee and fry vermicelli and rava for around 5-6mins.
Add curd and keep it aside for around 1/2 an hour. If the vermicelli and rava soaks well, the idlis come out very soft. Add more curd if the batter becomes too dry.
