Suryaa String Hoppers Flour Red 1kg

Suryaa String Hoppers Flour Red is milled from red rice for the brown idiyappam that Sri Lankan Tamil families prefer at breakfast and dinner. Red rice keeps its bran, which gives the flour its warm colour, a nutty taste and 6.4g of fibre per 100g. The flour is milled ready for hot water dough, so there is no roasting to do at home. It is a product of India, imported by Niru (Europe).

How to use it

Put the flour in a bowl with salt and pour over boiling water a little at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until it comes together. Knead while warm to a smooth, soft dough that holds its shape without cracking. Fill the string hopper press, squeeze spirals onto lightly oiled idiyappam mats or trays and steam for about eight minutes until the strands are springy. Serve with coconut sambol, sothi or a fish curry, or sweet with grated coconut and sugar. Leftover hoppers can be shredded and stir fried into string hopper kottu.
