Strawberry Rava Idli

Strawberry Rava Idli..A sweeter version of rava idli made with strawberries!! The strawberry season was already over, but luckily found a single pack while shopping. So, I used it to make this kids special rcp. An year back, I tried the same rcp with mangoes, which I found from the internet. It was too good n I thought of making it with strawberries this time.

It was more than 2 weeks since I last posted. A bit busy at home for a week, and when everything got over n I had a few rcps in hand to post, the pc got into trouble, followed by the internet connection too the next day! Uffff . Finally somehow all problems got over, and I managed to post today.

I usually prefer whole fruits for my kid to get the complete nutrients. Only when she starts hating them to eat as whole, I start trying rcps with them for her. My Strawberry Sorbet rcp was her favorite. Yet another yummy rcp now.
