Mauritian poutou is a simple and traditional steamed treat made mainly from rice flour and fresh grated coconut. 🥥 To prepare it the traditional way, the rice flour is first lightly moistened with water and a pinch of salt until it becomes slightly damp and crumbly rather than forming a dough.

This mixture is then layered in a small mold, traditionally made from bamboo or metal, alternating with grated coconut mixed with sugar. The filled mold is placed over steam, and cooked for a few minutes until firm and fragrant. Once done, the poutou is gently pushed out, forming a soft cylindrical shape with visible layers. It is best enjoyed warm, often with extra coconut, sugar, or alongside a cup of tea or coffee. ☕

Nowadays, Mauritian poutou has become quite rare to see regularly. It was once more common, especially homemade or sold by small vendors, but over time it has turned into a more nostalgic, traditional treat rather than an everyday snack. 😊
