Ragi Idiyappam | Finger Millet Flour String Hoppers | Millet Recipes

We all know millets are healthy and rich in nutrients and one should use them in a meal  either in breakfast,lunch or dinner.My kids love string hoppers/ idiyappam  so i tried making it with ragi  flour for breakfast today.It can be had with simple red coconut chutney ,kurma,or any non-veg gravy else with sugar.I slightly adopted it from here.

Makes: 15 pieces

Ingredients:

• Ragi flour-2 cups
• Salt to taste

Method:

1.Dry roast ragi flour in a pan till a aroma comes,be careful not to burn it.Boil 2 cup of water.

2.To the roasted flour add hot water little by little and mix to form a non sticky dough( don't add all the water).Add a tsp of oil and knead tit.Cover and keep.

3.Make a log of the dough fill in the idiyappam presser and press on greased idli plate.
Steam it for 10 mins or till done.Cool and remove.
