Boil water in a pan,adding required amount of salt and 1 tsp oil into it.Pour the boiled water little by little to the rice flour,stirring in between,until it is ready to make into a smooth dough.

Allow it to cool for a while.When it is half cooled,knead it with your hand into a smooth dough.Lightly grease the idiappom press and the idli mould to prevent sticking.Add 1/2 a spoon of grated coconut into each idli plate.Spoon some dough into the idiappom press,close the lid and squeeze the dough onto the idli plates in a circular motion.
