Idalies:

Microwave rawa for one minute and let stand for two minutes.
Add ginger, chillie and salt.
Add sour curds and mix. if needed, add water to bring it to a consistency so that the mixture has an uneven top but if you strike the vessel (containing the mixture)gently twice or thrice on a table or your kitchen slab, the top becomes a flat surface.
Add a teaspoon of water to a level teaspoon of eno fruit salt and mix it well in the rawa dough. keep aside.
Take 6 microwaveable bowls as explained above, and grease each of them.
Put three strands of carrot, each along a central line symmetrically in each bowl. place one almond in the centre of each bowl.
Put one-sixth of mixture in each bowl.
Strike each bowl gently on the slab to make the top even.
Microwave for 3 minutes. let stand for 2 minutes.
Invert each bowl onto a plate. you will be surprised at the ease the idalies come out.
Garnish with what you like.
Wah-bhai-wah! idalies with a different look! serve with chuttney and get appreciation from the eater.
