Ingredients

  • 1 cup Idiyapam flour
  • 1 ¼ cup Boiling hot water plus 2-3 tspns extra
  • Salt
  • 3 teaspoon Vegetable

  • In a wide bowl sieve Idiyappam Flour and keep aside.
  • Boil 1 ½ cups of water. Allow the water to boil. Add salt to taste and 1 teaspoon of oil.
  • To the flour add boiling water and using a wooden ladle knead well to form a soft dough. If you find the dough is too dry add about 1 teaspoon of boiling water at a time and knead well.
  • Allow the dough to cool for 3-5 mins or until you can handle the heat, then oil your palm with and knead the dough well until it's smooth and shiny for about 2-3 mins.
  • Grease the Idiyappam ural(idiyappam maker)with oil. Fill this dough into an idiyappam press.
