Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine rice flour idiyappam/murukku flour
  • 1 1/8 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Bring 1 1/8 cup water to a very gentle boil.
  • Add the measured flour, salt and 1/2 teaspoon oil to it. Mix with a spoon.
  • Once all the water is absorbed knead gently to make a soft dough. Divide the dough into two oblongs, Use your murukku or chakli press with finest holes plate for making idiyappam. Place one part dough in the greased press.
  • Grease the idli plates and press the dough into small circles over the plates. Steam like idlis for 4-5 minutes. They get cooked really fast. Leave to rest for 2 minutes, remove from plate and serve idiyappam hot with kurma.

Notes

1. These get cooked really fast. Do not steam for more than 5 minutes. Over steaming results in dry and cracked idiyappams.

3. Keep them covered until serving to retain softness.
