RECIPES OF SRI LANKA

Ingredients :

500 g

220 ml

1 1/2 tsp

Rice flour

Boiling water

Salt

Method :

• Warm the rice flour in a low oven, then sieve into a bowl.

• Add salt, then slowly add hot water and work into a soft dough.

• Place the dough into a string-hopper or vermicelli press and press the handle to squeeze small, flat noodles patties onto hopper mats.

• Place the mats in a steamer, or large pot with a trivet at the bottom and sufficient water to just reach the trivet's rung.

• Steam until strings are fully cooked and springy in texture, about 10 minutes.

• Remove string hoppers from the steamer and serve hot with sambals and curries.
