Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Firstly, in a pan, add oil to the water and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, turn off the flame.

* Step 2

In a separate bowl, add the rice flour, salt and mix well. Add about 3/4 cup of hot water to the rice flour. Stir with a spatula.

* Step 3

Continue to add the water little by little to the rice flour and mix well until a soft, smooth and non-sticky dough is formed.

* Step 4

Once you are able to handle the dough by hand, knead it nicely for 1-2 minutes. Grease the inside portion of the idiyappam press. Grease your palm with oil. Take a portion of the dough, smoothen it out in your palm and fill it in the press.

* Step 5

Grease the steamer plate. Gently press the idiyappam dough on to the steamer plate.

* Step 6

Steam the idiyappam for about 5 minutes, until cooked through. Let the idiyappam cool down a bit. Gently remove from the steamer plate and transfer to a serving plate.
