This is my fav all time recipe Rawa Idli ...my family just loves to have this with Sambar...I tend to use both Eno fruit salt and soda just because I have noticed justby using Eno its becomes really v v soft the first batch when you steam them but later when steaming the batter again after a while it wonldn't be tht soft ...This is sure to stay very fluffy and soft all the time:)
