Idiyappam is a traditional breakfast of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. During my childhood, I remember my mother used to make sevai upma, sevai paongal, sevai biryani…which was very tasty and delicious. I never bothered to enquire how it was made but today after marriage i realised that for making all those delicious
dishes i need to make the basic and common breakfast of kerala people i.e. Idiyappam. I learnt this recipe from my mother as she is an inborn great cook. Very less items are used to make this dish. Only one thing we need to keep in mind that the rice powder must be very fine without any granules and dough must be warm and non sticky while squeezing it into idly plates. So lets learn how to make Idiyappam in very less time:
Ingredients:
- Rice powder – 3cups (nicely minced without any granules)
- Water – 4cups
- Salt as per taste
- Oil – 1tsp
Method:
- Boil water adding adequate salt.
- Pour boiled water into rice powder mixing with a spatula at regular intervals.Keep it a side for cooling.
- When the dough is enough warm for your hand, then mix rice powder and water mixture with your hand to make a nice smooth dough (as we normally make for chapati) Remember dough must be non sticky.
