Instructions
  1. Take a vessel, pour water and bring to boil.
  2. Combine salt and roasted rice flour in another bowl.
  3. Add boiling water gradually and using a wooden spatula mix the dough. Add water till the dough comes together. 
  4. Using your hands (be careful the dough can be very hot), knead together until you get a smooth and soft dough. The dough should not be too tight and it should not be sticky also. Cover the dough with a wet cloth. 
  5. Grease the top and bottom of idli moulds. Take small portions of dough and press each portion through Idiyappam mould or Idiyappam presser onto greased idli moulds or banana leaves. ( Chekli presser can also be used alternatively)
