I try to include Millet as part of our menu at least 3 times a week. In my last trip to India I basically got all the millet roasted and made powder by giving it in mills. I have been trying different things with it. It really turns out to be great option for replacing rice flour in most traditional rice flour dishes. Idiyappam is one such dish.
Ingredients
Kodo millet flour / Varagu flour – 1 cup
Salt to taste
Coconut oil – 2 tablespoon (optional. But it gives good flavour)
Hot water as required
Method:
If you don’t have flour you can dry roast the kodo millet and grind to powder in mixie / blender or food processor. Sieve it to get smooth powder. Use smooth powder for making idiyappam.
Fill it with idiyappam dough and press the dough in circular motion on idli plate

Can you make roti/chapati from Varagu Flour ?
Yes it is possible I will post it soon
Wow.! Definitely going to try this soon. I have zero experience with millet based food. How do I know when it is sufficiently roasted? I'd prefer to prepare my own flour.
I have dry roasted till nice aroma released (still the color will be same)
