Hi Usha! Thanks for visiting me and your comment. I tried rava idly at home once and it came out too dense. I must try your tip of using milk.
BTW, your daughter is beautiful! Give her a hug from me. I have a 10 month old baby girl. They are such a joy, aren't they?

Hi Michelle!
Thanks for your comment.Turmeric powder is a good antiseptic. Do use it in food.
