Fresh hot soft idiyappam is a great breakfast option. Millet idiyappam is a low carb dish. The dough becomes pliable after autolysis and helps in keeping the string hoppers soft for a long time.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Jowar/Cholam Flour
  • 1 Tsp Oil
  • 1.25 Cups Water
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt

Directions:

  1. In a 2 ltr. Pressure Cooker, add water, oil and salt.
  2. Close and cook on high heat for a whistle.
  3. Switch off heat and carefully release pressure.
  4. Add the flour and mix until it resembles like wet sand.
  5. Close the lid with weight on and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Open knead briefly and using the press, make idiyappam.
  7. Steam them for 5 minutes.
  8. Serve with stew or curries.

    2. Hi Syeda,
      I understand from your comment that your flour requires more water. So while autolysing, add little more water. Or keep warm water in a bowl, dip the balls in to it before putting in the press. This may also help you. Once you arrive at the right water proportion, you’ll get fantastic, soft, fluffy idiyappam.
