Being a true blue South Indian and of course a foodie , i had to post this bit of news
The rava idli which is a mouth watering dish usually served with chutney and potato sagu has a unique origin.
It was first invented by the popular Mavalli Tiffin Room (MTR) in Bangalore. The normal idli is generally made with rice flour however the rava idli is made with semolina (rava). During world war 2 , there was a shortage of rice supply . Hence MTR tried to make idlis using semolina(rava) and hence the birth of rava idli!!
