    Soft fluffy idlis that are instant and made with semolina flour. This version of the traditional Mauritian idli recipe is much lighter and spongier.

    Ingredients

    • 1 Cup Semolina
    • 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
    • 1/3 Fresh Grated Coconut
    • 1.5 tablespoons Sugar (or to taste)
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 200ml Soy Milk
    • 1 tablespoon Melted Butter
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence

    1. Add all the dry ingredients (semolina, cocoa powder, grated coconut, sugar and baking powder) in a large bowl. Mix properly.
    2. Add the 200ml of soy milk
    3. Add 1 tsp of melted butter
    4. Add 1 tsp of vanilla essence
    5. Mix well until a smooth batter is obtained
    6. Grease the idli mould.
    7. Drop spoonfuls of batter in each mould. Do not overfill as the idli will rise.

    10. Serve with a nice cup of tea or coffee
