• Mix with a laddle then add more water and keep mixing till it gathers together like this.

• Shape the dough like a cylinder then fill it in the idiyappam press.Grease the idli plate with a drop of oil.
  
• Press it in circular motion to fill the plate.Repeat this in batches…Don’t crowd .I used my idli plates for steaming as I wanted small individual portions.You can use the steamer plate too.
  
• In the idli steamer pour water and place the idli steamer plate above it and steam it for 10-12mins.Serve hot with coconut chutney or with sugar.
  

Notes

• Roasting the flour helps in avoiding the chewy texture.
• As I used my twist and turn idiyappam press I did not find it difficult but if you are using the press type mould then act quickly when the dough is still warm else pressing will be a little tough.
• Adding boiling water yields soft idiyappam.
