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.
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:
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:
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.
Black Rice Idiyappam Wraps:
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.
