How to make Idiyappam
- In a bowl, add water, a tsp of oil and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, turn off the flame
- Add the rice flour, salt in a bowl and mix well. Add hot water little bu little to the rice flour and stir with a spatula. Continue adding water little by little to the rice flour and mix well until a soft, smooth and non-sticky dough is formed.
- When the dough is warm, knead it for 1-2 mins.
- Grease the inside portion of the idiyappam press. Now take a portion of the dough and fill it inside the idiyappam maker. Press it over the steamer plate well so that you get nice and thin rice noodles.
- Steam the idiyappam for about 5 mins. Let the idiyappam cool before gently removing from the steamer plate.
- Serve hot with Veg Kurma or sweetened coconut milk.
Notes
- I used 1 1/2 cups of water for 2 cups of Rice flour. It may vary based on the quality of rice flour.
- If the dough is sticky while kneading, grease your palm and try kneading again.
- Do not overcook the idiyappam, it will turn rubbery.
