Notes :
- The same recipe can be tried with wheat rava instead of sooji.
- For small babies skip whole cashews. Instead use powdered nuts.
- For small babies, you can skip fruit salt/baking soda. Give at least 4-6 hours fermentation time once the batter is ready. That may give soft idlies without using cooking soda.
- You could also skip tempering items for small babies.
- Make sure to introduce each ingredients separate to your baby, before you try this ragi rava idli recipe.
- Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
