Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the salt and coconut oil to the boiling water.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to low, and slowly add the rice flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to avoid lumps.
Step 3
Once all the rice flour is incorporated and a soft dough forms, remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the dough to cool slightly until safe to handle.
Step 4
Knead the dough gently for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Step 5
Divide the dough into small portions. Grease an idiyappam maker or a string hopper press with little coconut oil.
Step 6
Fill the greased idiyappam maker with a portion of dough. Squeeze out the dough in circular motions onto idli plates or perforated steaming trays to form thin noodle-like circles.
Step 7
Place the trays in a steamer and steam for 8-10 minutes or until the idiyappam is cooked through and firm.
Step 8
Remove the trays from the steamer, let them cool slightly, and then gently remove the idiyappam using a spatula.
Step 9
Serve hot with coconut chutney, vegetable stew, or your favorite curry.
