Ruhunu Red Rice Flour 400g

Type: 100% pure, finely ground red raw rice flour (Rathu Kekulu Piti).

Texture & Flavor: Fine and slightly grainy to the touch, cooking up into light, airy structures with a distinctly nutty, earthy flavor profile and a beautiful, soft reddish-pink hue.

Role: A nutrient-rich, high-fiber, and naturally gluten-free local staple used to create iconic, traditional Sri Lankan breakfast foods and evening steamed dishes.

Best Used For:

• Traditional Red String Hoppers (Idiyappam): Roasting the flour lightly, steaming it, and kneading with warm salted water to press through a mold into delicate, lacy nests for steaming.

• Rustic Pittu: Lightly dampening the flour with salted water and tossing it gently with fresh grated coconut to create tiny, loose crumbs, then steaming it in a bamboo or metal cylinder for a classic breakfast.

• Crispy Hoppers (Aappa): Blending into a fermented batter with coconut water, coconut milk, and a touch of yeast to swirl onto a hot wok (Aappa Chatti) for thin, crispy-edged hoppers with a soft, spongy center.
