Mathangi Steamed Wheat Flour 5kg

Steamed wheat flour is plain flour that has been steamed and dried before it is bagged. The steaming sets the starch, so the flour takes hot water and holds together in loose, fluffy crumbs, which is exactly what Sri Lankan pittu and wheat string hoppers need. Mathangi pack theirs in Sri Lanka in a 5kg bag.

How to use it

For pittu, sprinkle warm salted water over the flour and rub it through your fingers until it forms damp crumbs, add grated coconut and steam in a pittu bamboo or a lined steamer for about ten minutes. For string hoppers, mix with boiling water to a soft dough, press through an idiyappam mould and steam. Many cooks mix it half and half with roasted rice flour for softer hoppers. It also makes godamba rotti and kottu roti dough.
