Red rice is a type of unpolished rice that retains its reddish-brown bran layer, which is rich in nutrients and adds a unique flavor and color.

To make this flour, red rice grains are soaked, ground into a fine powder, and processed similarly to regular rice flour.

The primary difference is the use of red rice instead of white rice, which imparts a reddish-brown color to the flour and the resulting idiyappam.
