Ruhunu String Hopper Flour Red Rice 700g

Type: 100% natural, premium pre-steamed and finely ground red raw rice flour (Idiyappam Piti).

Texture & Flavor: Silky and ultra-fine, cooking up into light, delicate structures with a distinctly rustic, nutty flavor profile and a beautiful, authentic reddish-pink hue.

Role: A highly specialized, high-fiber, and naturally gluten-free flour engineered specifically to bypass the tedious roasting and steaming prep steps, allowing you to make flawless red string hoppers instantly.

Best Used For:

• Perfect Red String Hoppers (Idiyappa): Simply mix the flour directly with warm or room-temperature salted water (no boiling water required due to the pre-steamed nature of the flour). Knead into a soft, non-sticky dough that presses effortlessly through an idiyappam mold into elegant, lace-like nests that won't break during steaming.

• Quick Red Pittu: Lightly dampen the fine flour with salt water and toss gently with fresh grated coconut to create tiny, loose, sand-like crumbs before steaming them in a cylindrical mold.

• Traditional Savory Snacks: Excellent as a nutritious, crisp-yielding base for preparing homemade Murukku or adding an extra crunch to savory local mixtures.
