Idiyappam Recipe in Tamil | How to make Idiyappam | String hoppers Recipe | Carrot Idiyappam

Idiyappam, also known as string hopper, nool puttu, or noolappam, is a rice noodle dish originating from the Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu and as well as from Sri Lanka. It consists of rice flour pressed into noodles, woven into a flat disc-like shape and steamed. Also known as sevai, Santhagai, Putu mayam, putu mayang, string hoppers. 

There is not much difference in the taste compared to traditional idiyappam. I enjoy trying different varieties of idiyappams as it is my kids favorite breakfast items like beetroot string hopper, green string hopper and ragi string hopper.

Idiyappam is a healthy and steaming delicious food which is good for our health. This dish can be useful for diabetic peoples. It contains vitamin E that is good for our skins. As well as, it is a healthy dish which consists of carbohydrates and rich in fibers, minerals.

The main role of this recipe is kneading the dough, Water for kneading should be VERY hot or you will not be able to make idiyappam. When the water is reaching its boiling point, once you see the big bubbles off the stove and pour the hot water over the flour. Don’t allow the water to cool. Knead while it remains hot. To prepare carrot juice, Peel and chop a carrot. Grind into fine paste by adding little water. Strain and extract juice. This juice can mix with water for boiling. We can prepare slightly spicy tempered string hopper like lemon sandhavai. We can prepare these kind of eye catchy color idiyappam and serve with coconut milk-sugar or white kuruma. Definitely kids will love to eat.
