Idiyappam is a popular South Indian steamed breakfast item prepared with roasted rice flour. Rice noodles are prepared by pressing dough made with rice flour, water and coconut milk in a special mould. Rice flour can be replaced with wheat flour or ragi/ millet flour. Egg curry or chicken curry or vegetable stew is usually served along with it.
Preparing this dish require some effort as you have to press the rice dough through small pores of the mould. But trust me it is worth for every bit of effort 😊.
