    Notes

    • If you are buying store bought rice flour make sure to buy idiyappam flour.I use nirapara brand.
    • Do not make a stiff dough it will break while shaping. At the same time the dough should not be too loose too. It should be soft and slightly sticky that’s the perfect consistency.
    • If you have added little more water by mistake roast some flour and sprinkle and knead it.

    • Always keep covered with a cloth to avoid it from drying until use.
