    I love love love idiyappam..We make this rice idiyappam often. But this is the first time i tried ragi idiyappam and it was a super hit. I was a kind of scared to try ragi idiyappam because i thought that it would go gum like. But it didn't end up like that..It was Healthy and yummy that is the only thing i can say.

    I think roasting ragi makes it non sticky. It also takes away the raw smell from the ragi flour. Adding a little rice flour helps the ragi bind together and makes it more soft..

    I served it with coconut chutney and the chutney recipe is given with this post. This chutney has a little more chillies and tamarind which goes well with this bland ragi idiyappam. So give this a try and let me know how it turns out..

    Preparation Time : 5 mins
    Resting Time : 15 mins
    Cooking Time : 8 to 10 mins per batch
    Serves : 4

    Ragi Flour - 1 cup
    Store Bought Rice Flour - ¼ cup
    Salt to taste
    Water around 2 cups

    Heat water to a boil. Remove it.
    Take ragi flour in a kadai and roast it for 5 mins. Add in rice flour and salt to it and mix well.
    Pour hot water over it and mix well. Once it starts to come together, cover the bowl with a lid and let it sit for 15 mins.

    After 15 mins, add a tsp of oil and Form it into a soft dough.

    Now take your string hopper maker and fill it with the dough.
    Oil the idli plates as well(if you want)
    Spin the string maker so that you will get the dough as threads over it.
    Stack the plate and steam it for 8 to 10 mins.
    Remove and serve with chutney or tomato curry.

    For Chutney:
    Take all the ingredients in a blender and make it into a smooth puree.

      Hi Aarthi,

      Nice recipes, I follow ur blog closely. I tried both ragi n wheat flour idiyappams, Iam having hard time pressing through the idiyappam press. I am not sure whats the mistake i am doing. Are you able to press easily using the press? Please let me know how to make pressing easy.
      Keep up the great job

      Thanks
      Suganya

      @Su There may be two reason.

      1)Your press may be the problem, the press which i am using will work like a charm.

      2)The dough you are making is too stiff, you have to make a soft dough

      Thank you for this recipe Aarthi. I tried the ragi idiyappams and they have come out great. I will be making some coconut based veg kurma to go with it and dinner done! I am excited because I like to rotate grains to ensure my family gets good nutrition. This is an exciting way of using up my ragi flour. Thank you again 🙂 Will surely bookmark this for future use.
