Dear Pr!

Here is the procedure for making idiyappams with the batter.

IDIYAPPAM WITH RICE BATTER:

Ingredients:

Raw rice- 1 cup
Par boiled rice- 1 cup
Enough salt
Oil- 1 tsp

Procedure:

Soak the rice varieties in enough water for 3 hours. Then grind them with a little salt to a fine batter. The batter must be a little thinner than the idli batter. Mix in the oil. Pour the batter in idli plates and steam them for 15 minutes. When they are still hot, cut them into halves, and pass them through the idiyappam press. This will not be very soft and flexible like the ones we make with the rice flour.

I am starting the New Year with a sweet again. This time, it is a rice variety.

Briyani rice- 1 cup
Thick coconut milk- 1 cup

Procedure:

Heat a small vessel and pour the ghee. Add the cardamoms, and cashew nuts. Fry them to a golden colour. Add the raisins along with the apple, dates, pineapple and the carrot and fry for a few seconds. Add the remaining ingredients with the rice and a little salt. Cook on medium fire until the rice is 3/4th cooked and all the water is evaporated. Keep the rice in ‘Dhum’ either in the gas oven or by manual method for 20 minutes.
