Idiyappam....Homemade rice noodles.



Idiyappams with its snow white color garnished with grated coconut is one of the traditional healthy breakfast of Kerala.....it is healthy because it is steamed to cook....The main ingredient is rice flour....traditionally rice is washed cleaned and dried and powdered in the local mill and roasted....this can be kept for months and kozhukkatai, ada, pidi, idiyappam, pottu etc can be made with rice flour....now-a-days ready made rice flour is available at supermarkets...Asian stores.....

It is one of the easiest and healthiest breakfast and best served with any spicy curry....veg or non veg.....some like it with sweetened coconut milk poured over it...my kids love it with just plain sugar.
Boiling water is poured into the rice flour, salt and mixed with a spoon to make it into a dough...it is allow to cool and then it is put into the idiyappam press and pressed into greased idli mould with a tsp of grated coconut and steamed till cooked.

Its a vegan breakfast.

Ingredients:
Rice flour: 2 cups.(easily available in Indian stores.)
Water: 1 1/2 to 2 cups.
Salt: 1/2 tsp.
1 or 2 drops of coconut oil.
Grated coconut: 1/2 cup or as needed.

You will also need:
Idiyappam press  and the idiyappam achu.





How I made them:
1. Boil water with salt in a pan...add 1 or 2 drops of oil...when it is boiled and pour it little by little over the rice flour mixing with a spoon and make it into a soft dough...the water is just enough to make it into a dough.

2. Allow it to cool and while still warm knead it with your hand into a soft dough.Soft rice dough is ready to use.


3. Spoon some dough into the idiyappam press...close the lid...and press the dough into greased idili plate/moulds which are garnished with grated coconut.

4. Ready to be steamed!!!

5. Place it into steamer and let it cook for 10-15 min.


6. Let the idiyappams cool for a while and transfer it into a plate....serve with any veg or non veg curry.

Healthy Vegan Breakfast.



To all my fellow Indians

Happy Republic day.

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy.

I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help...
