Idiyappam and Vegetable stew
Ingredients for idiyappam:
Water - 2 Cups
Oil - 1 tsp + more as needed
Rice flour | Idiyappam flour - 1 1/2 Cups
Salt to taste
Method:
First, add the oil to the water and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, turn off the flame.
In a separate bowl, add the rice flour, salt and mix well. Add about 3/4 Cup of the hot water to the rice flour. Stir with a spatula. Now, continue to add the water little by little to the rice flour and mix well until a soft, smooth and non-sticky dough is formed. Knead it nicely for 1-2 mins. Grease the inside portion of the idiyappam press. Grease your palm with oil, take a portion of the dough, smoothed it out in your palm and fill it in the press. Similarly, grease the steamer plate. Gently press the idiyappam dough onto the steamer plate.
Steam the idiyappam for about 5 mins, until cooked through. Let the idiyappam cool down a bit, before gently removing from the steamer plate and transferring to a serving plate.
