Having made shevai - konkani semia - this one is a breeze. With readymade rice flour, no soaking, grinding, prior steaming it seemed so easy. And though I may be partial to shevai in terms of taste, I would definitely make this again. As long as you have some good dishes to accompany the idiyappam, you might not give that added flavour of shevai a second thought.
Ingredients:
Rice flour - 1 cup ( some have used roasted flour, I did not - not too sure how much to roast)
Water - about 1 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 tsp
Boil water. Reduce heat.
Add the salt, oil
Add the rice flour a little at a time, and keep stirring till it forms a mass and comes together and is a smooth mass.
Cool. Knead well.
Make equal portions. And put that into a muruku press and extrude the dough.
While most have put it into an idli mould, I put it into a cooker vessel and steamed it.
And when it was done it looked like this
I had this with freshly made Avakai - which is a fiery Andhra mango pickle. I have a picture but I thought it might just frighten some! And so I refrain from posting it here.
