Some Indian Food recipes and Kitchen Tips

Tips on Indian Cooking

When I started cooking first I had to learn everything by trial and error. These are some of my recipes for my daughters who are both newly married [:-)] whenever they feel nostalgic for Mom's cooking. Others are also welcome !

How to prepare Idiyappa Mavu

How to prepare Idiyappa mavu:

Clean and wash 1 kg of raw rice. Drain it.
Dry it on a towel on the counter indoors till water is evaporated.
Give it for grinding in a flour mill.
Cool it on a paper, spreading it flat.
Pour it into a tall cooker vessel.
Put it in a pressure cooker and cover it.
Pressure cook for 20 minutes.
Take it out and cool it on a paper using a fork to spread the hot flour.
Sieve it through a fine sieve and dry it indoors till it is completely dry.
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for future use.

Some people dry roast the ground rice flour little by little but this pressurecooking method is easier by comparison with the same result.

If you find this process too cumbersome just use the readymade raw rice flour available in the market instead of washing and grinding raw rice.

If even this step is too much, just use the readymade idiyappam flour for recipes calling for idiyappa mavu.
