Red Rice String Hopper/Idiyappam

Finally i prepared my favourite steamed food string hopper with some leftover red rice flour, its been a while i want to make this idiyappams with red rice flour but somehow i couldnt able to make them. Yesterday i prepared this string hopper and enjoyed thoroughly with sugar and fresh grated coconut, definitely a quick,easy,healthy and definitely a filling food.

If you dont like to have with sugar and grated coconut, you can very well go for a stew or you can temper them simply with spices and enjoy it as a savoury version.You can very well start your day with this healthy steamed food or else you can have for dinner. But i love them for my snacks, sending to my own event Healthy Dish-Steamed Foods guest hosted by Jaleela of Cookbookjaleela.

Bring boil the water with a pinch of salt and oil, gradually add the roasted red rice flour and cook until the dough get off from the vessel,keep aside and let them cool completely.
