Ingredients
- semolina1/2 cup
- coconut1/2 cup, grated
- milk1/2 cup
- sugar3 tbsp
- ghee2 tbsp
- baking powder1/2 tsp
Method
Soak the semolina
Mix the semolina with the milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften. This soaking step swells the grains so the bites turn out soft and moist rather than gritty in the middle.
Mix the batter
Stir in the grated coconut, sugar, ghee and baking powder until evenly combined. Add the baking powder last and mix gently, so its lift is not lost before the bites go into the basket.
Fill the mould
Spoon the mix into a greased silicone mini mould, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Greasing the cups well means the bites pop out cleanly, and the gap lets them rise without overflowing.
Air fry
Air fry at 160°C for 12 min until the bites are golden on top and firm to the touch. A firm, springy top tells you the middle is set, so let them cool a little before turning them out.
