Kerala Idiyappams or Stringhoppers/Nool Pottu step by step

1. To start with, roast the flour slightly for 3 to 4 minutes on a low heat. Do not over roast it. It should not change colour too. It is perfectly okay if you do not roast it. I make it both the ways..
2. Simultaneously heat water in an Idli cooker or a big vessel. Grease the idli plates or if banana leaf is available, cut small pieces and place in each depression of the idli plate..
3. Do not allow it to come to a rolling boil. As soon as it starts bubbling, switch off the gas. In a bowl, add roasted rice flour and salt. To this, add hot water and mix with a spatula..
4. When the heat can be handled, use your hands to knead the dough. It should be a smooth dough. Use some water if it appears dry. Use a string hopper with small hole attachment for making the Idiyappams. Divide the dough into two parts. Cover it with a cloth to prevent it from drying..
5. Make concentric circles in a clockwise motion in each depression of the idli plate. Steam them for 10-12 minutes. Keep them warm in a casserole. Serve them hot with Chicken curry, Sambar or Coconut Chutney. Just about anything you like. Enjoy!.
