Directions

1. Place the tofu in a blender with almond milk and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet. Add the mustard and when it sputters, add the onions, ginger and chili peppers.
3. Saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent. Add some salt to help them along.
4. Add the carrots and coriander. Stir well, then add the sooji rava.
5. Saute over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the rava from sticking or burning. It can brown easily in hot spots, so don't leave it unattended.
6. When the rava is fragrant and lightly colored, turn off the mixture and let it cool a little. Add the tofu mixture, mix well and add four to five cups of water, You want the batter to be quite thick, thicker than a pancake batter. Add salt to taste.
7. Add the Eno fruit salt and immediately pour the batter into the idli molds. If you're using the Idlito, you don't need any oil, but it is a good idea to spray some oil into the steel molds which makes unmolding easier.
8. Pour about an inch of water in a wide pan deep and wide enough to hold the idli mold comfortably. Bring it to a boil. Place the mold carefully into the pan. Cover, and let the idlis steam on low heat for 15 minutes.
9. Remove the mold from the steamer. Let the idlis cool a bit, then unmold.
10. Serve hot with sambar or coconut chutney.
