Author: Naive Cook Cooks
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- ½ cup semolina or suji (I used **fine suji** easily available in Indian stores)
- ¼ cup yogurt
- 10 tsp sugar
- 4 tsp cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp oil
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 5 Tbsp water and a few tsp less/more
Instructions
- For making idlis you will need a steamer and Idli stand. I have THIS one and love it!
- Turn on your steamer .
- In a bowl, add all the ingredients and mix until evenly mixed. The consistency of the batter should be in between neither too thick and nor too thin.
- Once water is boiling in steamer. add few drops of oil in all the crevices and pour a tbsp or two of batter.
- Once done filling, place the idli plate inside the steamer and cover tightly. Let it steam for 10-11 minutes at high gas.
- Using a toothpick check for doneness.
- Enjoy hot with whipped cream and fresh strawberries!
Notes
Ami says :
Lots of readers came back telling me that they loved these idlis.
One reader thought that she didn't enjoy the texture, so to clarify her doubt I wanted you guys to know since Rava idlis are instant idlis made using Rava (semolina or suji), they will always have a slight bite to them. If you are looking for a smoother texture, then I would suggest go with a chocolate cake recipe and turn it into idli.
