Steps:

*Take a mixing bowl and mix sugar and refined oil together, whisking until they blend seamlessly. Now add 3 tablespoons of fresh curd and whisk till you get a thick paste.

*To the mix, add the other dry ingredients. Add 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or maida along with 3 tablespoons cocoa powder. Do not forget the baking powder and baking soda.

*Finally, add 7 tablespoon of milk to the mixture. Mix well, go for folding motions. This will release the air bubbles in the mixture.

*Keep mixing until it becomes a thick batter. Now add chopped almonds.

*Next, grease the idli maker with oil so the muffins can be scooped out easily. Add 2 tablespoons of batter into each compartment. Sprinkle more almonds.

*Now, gently tap the maker to remove any air bubbles and slowly insert into a pre-heated steamer and close the lid.

*Let it bake for 30-40 minutes. Occasionally, insert a toothpick to see if it is cooked. If the toothpick comes out clean, your muffins are ready, if not wait a little.

*Scoop out the muffins with a tablespoon and drizzle some chocolate sauce. There you go with your yummy and spongy chocolate muffins!
