Idiyappam is one common breakfast in my house. It is a traditional recipe from Kerala , TamilNadu and Srilanka. It is also called as string hoppers, sevai or nool puttu.

The main challenge in preparing the string hoppers is dough preparation. If we get that right string hoppers will be ready in no time. Like idly, idiyappam is also steam-cooked hence it's very healthy.

Today I am showing the very basic recipe of string hoppers. We can do a lot of variations to the basic recipe like kothu idiyappam, coconut idiyappam.

Idiyappam tastes good with coconut milk.

idiyappam recipe

    1)     In a large bowl add in the sieved rice flour, Salt and freshly grated coconut .Mean while bring in the water to boil .Add the boiling water to the bowl and mix well with the backside of a ladle.

  3)     Grease an idiyappam pan with oil and run through the idiyappam press in a circular motion in an idiyappam pan. Keep the idiyappam pan inside a steamer and steam it for 10 – 15 mins or until its fully cooked.
