Ingredients:
- 2 cups Raw rice
- 2 tsp Cumin seeds
- Salt – As needed
Instructions:
- First, wash and soak rice for at least 3 hours. Grind with salt to a very very fine batter.
- I ground using my mixie. Grinding smooth is important for crisp texture. Add less water while grinding, then if needed you can add more water to adjust consistency.
- It should be slightly runny than our usual dosa batter. Mix cumin seeds
- Take 3-4 banana leaf and cut into squares so that it can fit your vessel you are going to steam.
- I used my idli pot, placed a idli plate (lower plate) and kept the idiyappam mesh steamer.
- Clean the banana leaf, grease very slightly with oil and pour as we do dosa. This should be thin as much as possible. If thick, adjust water consistency.
- Steam for a minute, while you do in other banana leaves. Takes just a minute. The color will change as shown in the picture.
- Using tong we use to fry papad, take the leaf and peel it, while you steam the next. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter.
- As you peel, you can arrange in a clean white cloth for drying. Do not let it fold while you peel as it will stick.
- Dry in sun or shade or in fan wind. The next day it will be fully dried. But dry for 3 days for safer side. If you have sun, dry in sun.
- Store in container immediately after drying – don’t keep overnight outside.
- Once dried completely, fry in enough oil and drain in paper towel.
