Ragi Idiyappam

Very healthy and steamed, ideal for a good breakfast or dinner. Simple and easy to make too

Ingredients

Idiyappam rice flour - ½  cup

Ragi or finger millet flour – ¾ cup

Water ~ 1 ½ cup (approx)

Grated coconut ( For garnishing )

Salt to taste

A dash of oil

Method

·         First boil water by adding salt.

·         Mix both the flours and slowly use a spoon and mix in the  boiled water to the  flour little by little and mix it well till it become a soft and smooth dough. (you may add or reduce the water, infact add little by little  till you get a soft dough). Let it cool and  then mix with your hand nicely. Use can smear your hands with oil so that it does not stick.

·         Then grease the idiyappam or idli moulds with little oil and then take a small amount of dough and pass it in the Idiyappam maker  in a circular motion. Sprinkle little grated coconut on top of the idiyappam.

·         Keep the idili moulds in a Idili cooker or the idiyappam moulds to a normal cooker and steam for around 10-15 minutes. 

Serve this ragi idiyaapam. I feel  you don’t need any other dish to eat this with sugar and coconut milk.
