Idiyappam/ Sevai / Rice Noodles

Idiyappam is a south-indian breakfast. It takes a while to prepare this using the idiyappam press and requires some energy to make this ;) This is one of the authentic methods to prepare Idiyappam. Rice flour is prepared and dried and then made into a dough which is then steamed.


However nowadays, it is generally prepared using a press which is easier to squeeze out the flour and also using ready-made rice flour, or ready-made idiyappam.

I used store bought rice flour to prepare this idiyappam. This idiyappam tastes great with any type of stew and also with grated coconut and sugar :)

Ingredients
Rice flour - 2 cups
Warm water
Salt - 1 teaspoon

Directions
  • Add the salt to the flour and mix well.
  • Slowly add the warm water and knead to make a smooth dough.
  • Grease the idly plates for steaming. Take some dough in the idiyappam press and slowly squeze little by little on the idly plates.
  • Steam for about 7 to 8 minutes.
Serve warm with some grated coconut or sugar.
Makes a light and delicious breakfast.
