Rulava Idli or Semolina Idli - A Konkani's festival dish

These Idlis are a slight variation to the regular rice Idlis in that Semolina or Rawa is used instead of rice.
These Idlis are normally made on festival days when Konkanis generally do not eat rice.
They turn out as fully as regular rice idlis.
