Product Description

Sathva Black rice idiyappam flour is made similarly to traditional white rice idiyappam flour but uses black rice (kavuni arisi / forbidden rice)  instead. Black rice has a slightly nutty flavor and is rich in antioxidants

Black rice is rinsed and soaked to soften the rice, making it easier to grind into a fine powder. The fine powder is further sieved to ensure the flour is fine and smooth, which is essential for making perfect idiyappam/string hopper.

With this Sathva homemade black rice idiyappam flour, you can prepare unique and nutritious idiyappam at home. The slight nuttiness and deep color of black rice will give a special touch to your dish.

 

Uses of black rice idiyappam flour

Black rice idiyappam flour, besides making traditional idiyappam, can be creatively used in various other culinary applications. Here are some ideas:

Black Rice Noodles:

Instead of steaming the idiyappam, the dough can be extruded into noodles using a noodle press. These black rice noodles can be used in soups, stir-fries, or salads for a unique and nutritious twist.

Black Rice Pancakes:

  1. Mix the flour with water or coconut milk to make a pancake batter. Cook like regular pancakes and serve with sweet or savory toppings, such as fresh fruits, honey, or curries.

Black Rice Dumplings:

Use the flour to make dumpling wrappers. Fill with vegetables, tofu, or mushroom and steam or pan-fry for a delicious and colorful dumpling variation.

Black Rice Dessert:

  1. Incorporate the flour into desserts like puddings, cakes, or even ice cream. The nutty flavor and vibrant color of the black rice add a unique touch to sweet treats.

  2. Black Rice Idiyappam Wraps:

    1. Roll cooked idiyappam with fillings like vegetables, meats, or cheeses to create wraps. They can be served cold or lightly heated for a quick and healthy snack or meal.

Benefits of black rice flour

Black rice is known for its high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins, which give it its deep purple-black color. Antioxidants help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Black rice is higher in fiber compared to white rice, especially in the bran layer. Fiber aids digestion, promotes bowel health, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

It contains essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, magnesium,  vitamin B3 & E, which are beneficial for overall health and well-being.
