Idiyappam is a famous Tamilnadu dish which can be had as breakfast, lunch or dinner! Generally, the cooked rice flour is made in to noodles and steamed. It can be served with kuruma, ishtu or sweetened coconut milk. I have used Ragi flour and Autolysis helps to get soft noodles . I served the idiyappam with ishtu, made of potatoes and sprouted fenugreek/methi seeds. Check OPOS section for the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Ragi Flour
- 1.25 Cups Water
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Oil
Directions:
- In a 2 ltr Pressure Cooker, add water, salt, oil and cook for a whistle on high heat.
- Immediately, release pressure carefully and mix in the ragi flour. Mix till it resembles like wet sand.
- Keep it covered with weight on for 20 minutes.
- Open, knead briefly after greasing the palms.
- Using the press, make thin strings on a greased plate or idli mould.
- Steam them for 2 to 3 minutes. Idiyappams are ready!
- Serve with your preferred side dish.
Any flour need not be roasted?
Hi Malathy,
No need for roasting. If you roast, then water quantity may vary. Thanks for your visit.
Came out perfect. Followed the same for little millet and barnyard millet flours mixed to form 1Cup. We loved both 🙂 Thanks VV mam 🙂
