Ingredients

  • Ragi Flour – 2 cups
  • Rice flour – 1/2 cup idiyappam flour
  • Boiling water – 4 to 5 cups + or –
  • Oil – 2 tsp
  • Salt – as per taste
  • Sugar – as per taste and for garnishing
  • Grated coconut – for garnishing

Instructions

  • Take the correct amount of flours. Dry roast the Ragi flour for 5 to 6 min.
  • Add the rice flour, mix with Ragi flour and again roast for just 3 min. Switch off the stove. Allow to cool down. Add the salt and mix it.
  • Add the boiling water little by little and keep on mixing the flours, until they become soft and pliable. Add the oil and mix.
  • Take a handful portion of flour and fill the idiyappam mould or Sev press. ( I tried with idiyappam mould, but could not press it, so used the murukku sev press ).
  • Press the mould on the idiyappam plates or idli plates. Steam cook them for 8 to 10 min.
  • Once cooked, serve hot by sprinkling sugar and grated coconut.

Notes

Since the Ragi flour is bit coarse, I used the murukku sev press.
Addition of grated coconut is purely optional.
