so here I am explaining the method only. Here I used my iddli steamer and I had an additional round plate which can be used to steam food by placing it over the water just like idly moulds . So I used it here.
Method
1.Prepare batter .
2.Switch on stove and keep steamer with water and lid on it in high flame for 5 minutes
3.Keep the muffin liners inside muffin moulds or small paper tea cups and fill up to 3/4 th of muffin cups.
4.Reduce the flame to low and Keep the muffin moulds inside the steamer and and cover loosely with a cotton cloth over the muffins without touching the batter and be careful to keep the cloths endings away from fire ,cover with lid and steam for 15 to 20 minutes or until done or a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Your steamed chocolate banana muffins are ready now.....don't forget to remove muffin liners before eating...lol... healthy and yummy.
I was searching for alternate baking methods and stumbled upon steaming cakes. So I decided to give it a try as I have tried pressure cooker method , so many times successfully.In pressure cooker method we can use either pressure cooker oor any heavy bottomed vessel for baking , aluminum preferably.
And we put sand or salt inside to prevent burning of the vessel,I have tried without salt also. Both are ok but it's better to take off your vessel unless it's old by spreading salt oin one inch thickness. Once I tried pressure cooker method with water also and the cake raised well, but the only problem was vapor falling on the top . So this time I decided to cover loosely with a soft thin cotton cloth to prevent this and to use my iddly steamer. The advantage of steaming compared to baking in pressure cooker is , cooking time can be reduced.So here we go.I used the whole wheat chocolate Ragi banana muffin recipe in my blog, the only change I made was used only whole wheat as I was out of Ragi so I used 13/4 cup whole wheat and increased the amount of cocoa powder to 3 tablespoons to make it more chocolatey.
