In a sieve,½ cup beaten rice and wash it under running water till the water runs clear.
Transfer to a medium-sized bowl add the 1 cup Yoghurt and the 1 cup rava and give it a good mix. Add a teaspoon or 2 of water if the mixture is too dry.
After about 5 to 10 minutes run the immersion blender or transfer to a mixer jar and grind till the mixture is a fine homogenous mixture. Use a little water if needed.
Transfer back to the same bowl if you have used the mixer jar. Add Salt and Eno fruit salt mix well.
Get the cooker ready by adding sufficient water in the base and start heating the water. Remember to remove the valve/weight from the cooker lid.
Add water, if needed, to make a thick dropping consistency.
Grease the idli mould with ghee, oil and add the batter in the mould.
Once the water is boiling rapidly place the idli stand in the cooker. Cover with the lid.
Steam the idli only for 10 - 12 minutes. Do not overcook the idlis.
Once you remove the idlis from the cooker let it stand for 2 minutes.
Remove to a bowl or directly to a plate.
Serve it with spicy chutney and sambar.

You can also use a greased plate like I have to make your idlis. To make things interesting for a child then use a cookie cutter to cut the idlis.
