Ragi Idiyappam | Kezhvaragu Idiyappam | Finger Millet Idiyappam

Ragi Idiyappam, an healthy string hoppers made from finger millet flour. If you have follow my blog regularly, you would have know by this time that how much i like idiyappam.

I love all kind of idiyappams that are made from rice flour, wheat flour, beetroot or the one made from rice batter.This ragi idiyappam is the latest additions to my idiyappam list. I have tried this many times with different proportion of ragi & rice flour or sometimes even without rice flour. Each one has slight difference in taste and texture. 
Here i'm sharing the recipe of ragi idiyappam which i like the most both taste & texture wise.Use this as a guide and change the proportion as per your liking. I like this idiyappam with grated coconut & sugar. But you can also have it with sambar and/or even with coconut chutney also, that too tastes equally good.

Notes:
  • Depends on the flour quality,you may need more or less water,so always boil extra 1/4 of water.
  • Add little by little of water into flour. If you add more water, then the idiyappam will be sticky. 
  • Sesame oil gives wonderful aroma and i used the same for greasing the plate too.
  • Instead of idli plate, you can steam it in idiyappam plate too.

  10. Why am I seeing many comments from south indians as if they don't know what's idiyappam and it's like some alien rare dish? Abroad settled effect may be. Anyhow your method seem to be different and i will try this one next time for sure. Thanks for this version:-)
