your reciepe is just great can tell me how to make idiyappam flour at home Reply :- Thank you. To make idiyappam flour at home, soak about 3 cups (or as needed) of raw rice for 2-3 hours. Drain the water completely. Spread the soaked rice on a clean towel and let it air dry for about 30 minutes. Next make a fine powder using a blender or mixie in batches. You can also soak a big batch of rice and grind it in a mill. Roast this flour in a kadai on a low flame till all the moisture is completely gone and you have a dry flour. The flour should not change its colour. You can store this flour in airtight containers for several months and prepare idiyappam whenever needed.
