I seen a lady she made in a rice cooker. It was awesome

[@veroniquelennon6246]

My mother will be thrilled! She bought a tin poutou mould many years ago when she went to Mauritius on holiday but has never found a recipe for the soft poutou of old. The few poutou you can find today are tough and tasteless. Thank you so much.

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

That's great to hear! We hope that she will love our recipe and that it'll bring her good memories! Thanks for watching our videos! :)

If I do not have microwave safe muffin tray, can I use any different glass tray ? Will the cook time be same if I make it in a microwave cake tray pls ?

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

Hi there, if you are using a bigger mould or tray, the cook time need to be increased slightly as well. Maybe add 2 extra minutes and check the consistency. Hope this was helpful 😉

Hello Shobha. I'm making this tomorrow. I wonder if I can add food colors and flavors to serve as a delight.

Hello, if I want to make a savoury version. Do I have to omit the sugar? And how much salt do I need to put?

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

Hi there, yes you can omit the sugar for a savoury version. The amount of salt depends on your taste. If you are having the poutou with curries etc, you do not even need to add any salt. Hope this was helpful 😉

Hi! Can we use poutou maker (steamed) instead of microwave?

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

Hi there, yes you can! If the mix in too runny, add some more rice flour 😉

[@abooswalehmosafeer173]

I have been dying to eat some toutou for a long time. Always thought poutou could only be prepared by the NASA( yea the Aeronautics) Now I know it can be cooked just like that. Now I wish to eat Nan farata which was very popular during Ramadan in the 1970s.

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

There is always a simpler way to make a recipe ;) Thank you for your comment!

[@bibihabibajoomratee3572]

Hello, can I use rice flour, and can I use my idli pot to cook it, thank you.

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

Yes, you can also use ready made Rice Flour for the recipe. There are more details in the video description ;)

[@hana.the.writer5074]

@@TheFoodiesAvenue But I read they add cornstarch to it which means it isn't 100 percent rice. Of course, we're after the starch but might react differently when cooking.

is there an alternative to microwaving? not a fan of those ovens.

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

You can also steam for about 20 minutes. However, you might need to find a suitable mould for steaming ;)

[@abbyiyer2011]

Just put it in a plate and steam. Cut to desired shape. You can make this savoury too. Instead of milk add warm water to which turmeric is added. But roast the rice flour nicely for both sweet and savory. This is our South Indian breakfast puttu .

Is it di riz ration

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

We used 'Jasmine rice' for this recipe as it gives a softer texture. If you are using du riz ration, I would recommend to let it soak in water for at least 30 minutes before blending it as it has a harder outer shell 😉 let me know who it goes if you try, cheers!

[@yashvinbeedasy358]

Can I use basmati rice?
