idiyappam recipe

Today i have for you all one of our family favorite dish .. IDIYAPPAM .  Idiyappam is basically string hoppers and  is a very common dish in Tamil Nadu and Kerala ( Noolu Puttu  ) . Soft and fluffy idiyappam served with spicy curry , veg stew and sweet coconut milk .. aah .. a fest in itself . The leftovers goes into making lemon sevai or kaisasive chitranna .. which i equally love too 🙂

I have shared before Akki ottu shavige from matta rice .. which is the traditional way made at Udupi , Mangalore Coastal Karnataka .For people who are wondering what this Ottu shavige  is .. for better understanding one can say them as handmade rice noodles .

There are many ways one can make these string hoppers . Today’s post Idiyappam is Kerala / Tamilnadu style of making string hoppers and the method of making it .. is entirely different than the earlier shared Ottu shavige . This idiyappam recipe is prepared from rice flour , partially cooked , pressed to noodles and then later it is steamed.

Few points to note while making Idiyappam Recipe: 

  • Always use fine rice flour for making Idiyappam . I use regular rice plain flour .
  • Dry roast for 3-4  mins till it’s hot .Make sure to retain color . This warming up of rice flour helps in absorption of more water making the idiayppam soft and fluffy .
  • Don’t allow the flour to get too cold while kneading.Knead it when it is manageable hot.Kneading process is very vital.Better you need nicer the dough and longer the strands .
  • Since we are kneading the dough when its hot only , it would be difficult for us to handle the dough bear hands. Thats why we are putting it in polythene cover and knead later .
  • Don’t over stem idiyappam .. else it will dry out .

Do give a try for your weekend breakfast or lunch and you will surely agree with me… Tummy full dil bhi khush….
