Chakra Idiyappam Flour Red is made from finely milled red rice and used to prepare traditional idiyappam, also known as string hoppers or nooputt. Idiyappam is a steamed South Indian and Sri Lankan dish where rice dough is pressed into thin noodle-like strands and cooked gently. This red rice variant offers a deeper colour and slightly earthier flavour compared to white idiyappam, while maintaining a soft, delicate texture. Commonly enjoyed for breakfast or light meals, red idiyappam pairs well with coconut chutney, vegetable stew, or mild curries.
Idiyappam is a traditional steamed dish prepared across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Kodava, Tulu regions, and Sri Lanka. It is made by pressing hydrated rice dough through a mould to form fine strands, which are then steamed until soft and light.
Chakra Idiyappam Flour Red is milled to a fine consistency that allows the dough to absorb water evenly and pass smoothly through an idiyappam press. This helps create uniform strands that cook evenly and hold their shape without breaking.
Mix with warm water to form a soft dough and steam using an idiyappam press. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container after opening. Shipped from our EU warehouse with reliable delivery across Europe.
