Can we use regular rice-dal combination instead of semolina for this recipe?

Whenever I make rava idli, the colour of idli doesn''t remain white. It changes to creamish colour. Please suggest how to retain white colour. Thank you.

   Depending upon the quality of rava, the colour of rava idli is never pure white. It is creamish in colour only.
