Servings2
Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat flour
- water as needed
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Take wheat flour in a pan and start roasting, roast till it changes to slightly golden and is of sandy texture. This is the correct stage, switch off and cool down.
- Add required salt and keep it ready.
- Boil water till it starts boiling rigorously, now add it to little by little to the roasted flour till it gathers together.
- Start mixing it with a ladle. Keep adding water little by little till it gathers together to form a dough.
- Seperate the dough into portions and keep it ready.
- Take your idiyappam press and grease it well with oil. I used the fine idiyappam press mould.
- Pinch a ball from the dough and fill it in the idiyappam press.
- Grease the idiyappam steamer plate then press it in circular motion to fill the steamer plate.
- Grease the idli steamer plate. Repeat this in batches. Don't crowd .I used my idli plates for steaming as I wanted small individual portions.
- In the idli steamer pour water and place the idli steamer plate above it and steam it for 10-12mins.
- Serve Wheat Idiyappam hot with coconut and sugar drizzled...tastes great!
Notes
- Hot water matters - Use hot water to knead the dough. Cold water may not work the same.
- Grease generously – oil will help the dough to stay away from your hands and the press.
- Steam, don’t overcook - overcooking can lead to chewy string hoppers. The ideal cooking time is 10- 12 minutes depending upon the size of the idiyappam.
- Fresh Atta – It is recommended to use fresh atta for this recipe for additional flavor.
- Don’t overcrowd – Give these idiyappams breathing space. Don’t overcrowd them.
- Serve them immediately – Serving them hot is essential as can turn dry and hard.
