Usually we make rice flour for making idiyappam separately which is time consuming process and this instant version is easy and less time consuming. I got this idea from my SIL who tried and told it came out good. Dry roast the ragi flour nicely. You need to press when the dough is hot otherwise it will be difficult to press. You can sprinkle some hot water and press if it is tight. Serve it with coconut milk or stew.
SHHH COOKING SECRETLY CHALLENGE

Notes
Dry roast the ragi nicely so raw smell is not there.
Adding rice flour to ragi helps to press easily. You can add 1/4 cup rice flour if you wish or skip it. I didn't add it this time.
Water should be very very hot and pour slowly to the flour.
Amount of water will differ depending on the flour.
For 1 cup of ragi flour, you will require 1.5-1.75 cups of water.
Press the dough when it is hot, once it cools down it will be difficult to press. So don't rest the dough for long time
You can sprinkle hot water and press if it is difficult to press after sometime.
Remove the idiyappam from plate immediately when it is hot. Otherwise it will stick to the plate.
