Idiyappam



Prerequisite: Chakkuli/Semiya moulds

Idiyappam is Kerala style vermicelli made using rice flour. It could be eaten plain with curry of your choice or seasoned and eaten as masala idiyappam. Recipe contributed by Suma.

Ingredients :
2 cups roasted/unroasted rice flour
4 cups water
1 tsp cooking oil
Salt

How to make:

Take 2 cups of roasted rice flour and four cups of water or as needed. Boil water with one teaspoon of oil. Add it to the flour along with salt. Make a soft dough. Apply 2 drops of oil each to the idli moulds. Put the dough in semiya(chakkuli) mould, press small idiyappams on the idli stand and steam for 7 min. Don't overcook as  it turns out to be rubbery.

For masala idiyappam:

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil, mustard seeds, urad dal, 2 chopped onions,5 green chillies. Fry. Add two tomatoes and required amount of salt only to the mixture. Add the idiyappam to it. You could also add some sugar if required. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

P:S- If you do not have roasted rice flour, use normal rice flour
