Ingredients

• 1 cup raw (i.e. not roasted) rice flour
• 1 cup water (hot water preferred by some)
• ½ cup grated coconut
• 1 tsp ghee
• Salt to taste

Steps

1. Mix rice flour with hot water and salt.
2. Knead it into a smooth dough.
3. Press the dough through an idiyappam presser or sieve onto banana leaves on which a little grated coconut has been sprinkled. Alternatively, press it directly onto an idli pan without banana leaves.
