How to make Soft Ragi Idiyappam ? | Basic Recipes

Who does not like Idiyappams ?? That too very soft ?? We all know that with sev-press and gun-modelled press, which we have nowadays pressing becomes more and more easier. Ragi idiyappam is not such a big deal. It is a mixture of rice to ragi flour in 1:1 ratio. But the great enemy for softies is store-bought flour. Idiyappam will be nice if it is home-made flour. If it is a store-bought flour, it will be really very hard and rubbery. If rice idiyappams itself have such a fate, what will be the status of ragi idiyappam made with store-bought flour ? Already some people don't like flavor of Ragi. How will they react if it is hard and rubbery too ? I used to avoid making Idiyappams with ragi flour just because of this reason..

But recently my mom gave me a tip to cook the ragi and rice mixed flour to make string hoppers instead of mere mixing with hot water.. I applied the tip and it really worked well.. The String-hoppers came very very soft.. If you are gonna make Idiyappam next time, try with ragi flour.. This will yield you very very soft idiyappams.. This is a no fail procedure.. And this procedure applies as a great softener for store-bought flours. Include this tasty ragi idiyappam in your Indian style weight loss diet and make it more interesting..
