This chocolate idli recipe takes your classic soft, fluffy idli and gives it an indulgent glow-up that'll have you rethinking everything you know about idlis. The process? Super simple. Mix up the batter with all your ingredients, let it chill for 8-10 minutes (because even batter needs a breather), and then pour it into greased idli molds.

Now for the pièce de r sistance—drizzle these bad boys with rich chocolate syrup and top them off with cherries or tutti frutti for a pop of color and fun.

Instructions

  • This Chocolate Idli recipe is your passport to a fun, fusion, and oh-so-chocolaty dessert. Imagine soft, spongy idlis with a rich chocolate twist—yep, it's happening!
  • Start this recipe of chocolate idli by whipping up a simple batter with cocoa powder for those deep chocolate vibes, powdered sugar for sweetness, and a dash of vanilla essence to bring it all together.
  • Whisk it until smooth, then let the batter rest for 8-10 minutes—because even batter deserves a little chill time.
  • Grease your idli molds (microwave-safe or stovetop-friendly) with a bit of oil or butter, then pour in the luscious chocolate batter.
  • If you've got an oven, pop the molds in at 180 C (or 350 F) for 15-20 minutes. No oven? No problem—cook them the old-school way by steaming them in a closed pan over low flame, just like traditional idlis. The result? Soft, fluffy chocolate idlis with a divine fragrance, it'll have everyone sprinting to the kitchen.
  • Once baked and slightly cooled, gently pop the idlis out of the molds (a spoon works like magic here). Time for the glam-up: drizzle with chocolate syrup for that shiny, decadent finish, and top with tutti frutti, cherries, or fresh fruits for an extra pop of color.
  • Serve these chocolatey delights warm for cozy dessert vibes or chilled for a refreshing twist. Perfect for birthdays, dinner dates, or treating yourself to some me-time, this recipe of chocolate idli is proof that simple ideas can be seriously extraordinary.
