Combine the ragi flour, semolina, yogurt and baking powder/fruit salt in a large mixing bowl. Add water and prepare a thick batter. Allow the batter to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. After the batter has rested for 15 minutes, check its consistency and stir in some additional water if required. Add salt, green chillies, ginger, a tablespoon of oil and mix well. Preheat an idli steamer with water and pour the batter into the mould cavities. Steam the idlis for 10 minutes until a fork inserted comes out clean.
