Ingredients

▢ 1 cup Rice Flour
▢ 1.5 cup Water
▢ 1 tbsp Oil Few drops & more to coat the mould & plates during steaming
▢ Salt as per taste
▢ 1/2 Coconut fresh, grated

Instructions

▢
Add few drops of oil to the water & bring it to boil
▢
Take the rice flour & start adding water to the flour
▢
Dont use all the water at one go. Add little little. Be careful its gonna be really hot
▢
I used around 1.25 cups of water, but I guess it will depend on the flour quality as well
▢
Knead the dough, make it nice & smooth
▢
Put a little oil in your palms, take a portion of the dough & roll it into a cylindrical roll to fit into the mould
▢
Now to the mould. Use the plate/stencil with the smallest holes. Oil the mould from the inside with a little oil.
▢
Close the mould & press till the dough starts coming out of the mould

Now to Steaming

▢
Heat water in the idli steamer or any big vessel. Cover the idli plates with very little oil.
▢
Press the dough through the mould & put one layer of stringy dough. Spread a little fresh grated coconut & press another layer of the stringy dough.
▢
Steam these for 5-6 mins
▢
Yummy, light, fluffy Idiyappams are ready to eat.
