Instructions
Prepare the Sweet Mango Semolina Idli Batter
- Combine diced mango, semolina, powdered sugar, buttermilk, ghee, and cardamom powder in a bowl. Mix well to form a thick batter. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Cook the Idlis
- Grease an idli steamer or molds with ghee. Place a raisin and a halved cashew in each idli mold. Pour the batter into the molds, filling them about ¾ full. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the idlis are cooked through and firm.
Make the Tangy Mango Sauce
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Once the mustard seeds splutter, add diced mango, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Sauté for a few minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of water, cover, and cook until the mangoes are soft. Stir in brown sugar and mix well. Remove from heat.
Serve
- Serve the hot, fluffy idlis with the tangy mango sauce. Garnish with chopped cashews, almonds, and shredded coconut if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Mango Semolina Idli
- For extra flavorful idlis, soak the raisins and cashews in warm milk or water for 15 minutes before adding to the batter.
- If the batter seems too thick, add a little more buttermilk to achieve the right consistency. It should be pourable but not runny.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar in the mango sauce based on the sweetness of your mangoes and personal preference.
- To make it vegan, use a plant-based ghee alternative and ensure that your buttermilk is vegan.
