Notes

  • Rice flour - If you are buying store bought rice flour make sure to buy idiyappam flour.
  • Dough - 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.
  • Adding water - Make sure to add water little by little in the first method. If water is more the dough will become very loose. If you have added little more water by mistake roast some flour and sprinkle and knead it.
  • Keep covered - Always keep covered with a cloth to avoid it from drying until use.
  • Shaping - While shaping kozhukattais and if the dough breaks then it means the dough is dry. So sprinkle little water mix well to rectify and start using it.
