Hello Mrs. Mano,
Thank you for the chicken tomato gravy recipe...it was awesome..enjoyed it till the pan was screeching empty.
I always face a problem when cubing chicken to small pices for gravy..the chicken turns out very dry..any suggestions to keep them moist?
Dear Pr!
How are you?
Here I am posting the recipe for ragi idiyaappam which you have requested. You can simply make idiyaappam with ragi flour alone.In this recipe, I have added a little rice flour to enhance the taste. After the preparation of the idiyaappams, you can make idiyaappa upma, ragi idiyaappa kitchadi, dal idiyappa kitchadi and ragi idiyappa briyani. Only thing- you have to separate the idyaappam like noodles only when they are cooled.
RAGI IDIYAAPPAM
Ingredients:
Ragi flour- 2 cup
Rice flour- quarter cup
Salt to taste
Gingelly oil- 1 tbsp
Warm water- 1 1/2 to 2 cups
Procedure:
Sieve the flours. Add the salt. Mix with the warm water little by little. Make a soft dough, add the oil and knead well. Pass through the idiyaappa press on idiyaappa moulds which are greased with oil. Steam them for 10 to 15 minutes.
Hi Mrs.Mano,
Can you please post the recipes for ragi idiyaappa kitchadi, dal idiyappa kitchadi and ragi idiyappa briyani...
