Description: 

                   Idiyappam is a very healthy food as its steamed and is made of rice flour/wheat flour, salt and water. It is served as main course for breakfast or dinner and goes good with Egg curry, potato stew etc. I served Idiyappam with Egg curry as you can see in the picture. 

Ingredients:

1. Rice flour - 2 cups

2. Grated coconut

3. Warm water

4. Salt to taste

Procedure:

                 For preparing Idiyappam we require an Idiyappam press, Idili trays and a cooker or steamer. I use cooker to steam the appams. Take the rice flour in a bowl and add salt. Now pour little warm water and knead the rice flour to make it a smooth/soft dough. We can even add little Ghee/butter while heating the water, though its optional. Once the dough is made, take the Idiyappam mould and fill it. Next take the Idili tray and slightly grease it with oil. Now press the Idiyappam mould so that the dough passes through it like noodles.  Once the trays are full, put little grated coconut on the top of the appams. 

                Take the cooker, pour water into it and allow to boil. Once water starts to boil place the Idili tray into the cooker. Steam it for around 4-5 minutes. Idiyappams are ready. Serve it hot with Egg curry, Potato stew etc. Enjoy!
