How to Make String Hoppers Using Suwandel Rice Flour 🍜

Making string hoppers (idiyappam) with Suwandel rice flour is simple and gives soft, aromatic results.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Suwandel rice flour

• 1½ cups hot water

• ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation

First lightly roast the Suwandel rice flour in a dry pan for a few minutes on low heat. This removes moisture and helps produce soft string hoppers. Let the flour cool slightly.

In a bowl, mix the roasted flour with salt. Gradually add hot water while mixing until it forms a soft dough. The dough should be smooth and slightly firm but not sticky.

Place the dough into a string hopper press (idiyappam maker). Press the dough in circular motions onto string hopper mats or banana leaves to create thin noodle nests.

Steam the prepared string hoppers in a steamer for about 5–7 minutes until fully cooked.

Serving Suggestions

Fresh Suwandel string hoppers are best served hot with:

• Kiri hodi (coconut milk gravy)

• Dhal curry

• Fish or chicken curry

• Lunu miris or coconut sambol

The natural aroma of Suwandel rice flour gives the string hoppers a soft texture and delicate fragrance, making them perfect for authentic Sri Lankan meals. 🍽️
