Rava idlis are steamed dumplings made from a mix of semolina instead of the rice batter. Crispy rava idli sticks are an upgrade on the classic dish. The idlis are tempered with curry leaves, shallow-fried in oil, and shaped into sticks instead of spheres. The result? Handheld treats that are great party snacks for dipping.
