Easy Idiyappam recipe or rice string hoppers are a traditional South Indian recipe consisting of rice flour pressed into strings(noodles). Making fresh homemade idiyappam (rice string hoppers) is so satisfying. You should definitely try it.
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.
Steam these in a idli steamer for about 5 to 7 mins. Do not over cook the idiyappam, as they will turn rubbery.
