{"title":"RUS C","description":"\u003cp\u003eRUS C is a flour label whose range centres on roasted rice flour, a core ingredient in Sri Lankan and Tamil cooking. Rice flour for pittu and idiyappam has to be dry-roasted before use so that it absorbs water evenly, and buying it already roasted takes away the slow, dusty job of stirring flour in a hot pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe carry RUS C in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/roasted-rice-flour\"\u003eroasted rice flour\u003c\/a\u003e collection, part of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rice-and-puttu-flour\"\u003erice and puttu flour\u003c\/a\u003e within the atta and flour department. It comes in a family bag and a larger size for households that make string hoppers or pittu every week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor pittu, the flour is rubbed with warm salted water into damp crumbs, layered with grated coconut in a bamboo or steel pittu kuzhal, and steamed. For idiyappam or string hoppers, it is mixed with boiling water into a soft dough and pressed through a mould onto small mats before steaming. Roasted rice flour also makes kozhukattai, Jaffna-style murukku and thattai, and a quick rice roti with onion and green chilli. Red roasted rice flour gives a nuttier pittu, while white is softer and milder, and many families keep both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep roasted flour completely dry in a sealed container, since any damp turns it lumpy and stale. Sift before use for the lightest string hoppers.
