Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup rice flour or idiyappam flour
  • 2 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oil

Instructions

  • First, add the teaspoon of oil to the water and bring it to a rolling boil. Once the water starts to boil, turn off the flame.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add the idiyappam flour, salt and mix well. Add about 3/4 Cup of the hot water to the rice flour. Stir with a spatula. Now, continue to add the water little by little to the rice flour and mix well until a soft, smooth and non-sticky dough is formed
  • Once you are able to handle the dough by hand, knead it nicely for 1-2 mins. Grease the inside portion of the idiyappam press. Grease your palm with oil, take a portion of the dough, smoothen it out in your palm and fill it in the press. Similarly, grease the steamer plate. Gently press the idiyappam dough in a circular motion onto the steamer plate, as shown in the pic.
  • Steam the idiyappam for about 5 mins, until cooked through. Let the idiyapam to cool down a bit, before gently removing from the steamer plate and transferring to a serving plate
  • Enjoy hot with a side of spicy kurma or sweetened coconut milk
