👩‍🍳 How to make Goan Idiyappam with Coconut Milk

Make dough (5 mins, no heat + hot water): Mix rice flour and salt. Pour hot water gradually â€” just enough to make soft, pliable dough that doesn't stick to hands.
Press idiyappam (5 mins, no heat): Fill idiyappam press, squeeze directly into greased idli plates or steamer in circular nests.
Steam (10 mins, high heat): Steam over boiling water until translucent and cooked through â€” string noodles should be separate and not sticky.
Serve: Plate idiyappam nests, pour sweetened warm coconut milk alongside or on top.
