Ingredients

Method

  • 3/4 Cup                Edible Rice Bran

  • 1 1/2 cups Rice Flour (Roasted Rice Flour or Idiyappam Flour)

  • 1 Tsp Salt

  • 2 1/4 Cups Water (Total Flour to Water Ratio is 1:1)

  1. Mix the Edible Rice Bran and Rice Flour together in a bowl (Sift if lumps are present)

  2. Boil the water in a large pan (The pan should be large enough for all ingredients above). Add salt into water and stir using a spoon to dissolve the salt

  3. Once water has boiled, turn off the stove and immediately add the flour mixture into the hot water while continuously stirring with a wooden spatula. (Two persons may be needed at this stage, one to hold the pan, while the other stirs to make the dough)

  4. A soft dough will be formed, cover with a wet cloth

  5. Fill the dough into a wooden press with small fine holes and squeeze onto a steaming tray to shape string hoppers

  6. Steam the tray for about 6 minutes to cook the dough. It will look more transparent when cooked.

  7. Remove and place string hoppers in a plate
