Idiyappam / Nool puttu / String Hoppers Recipe

 Idiyappam /Nool puttu is a traditional South Indian food made using rice flour and steamed. It is also a staple food of SriLanka . Idiyappam is usually served with stew or any any spicy side dish .There are make variations which you can make out of this noodle look a like 😁, which I will post soon.






Preparation Time : 10 min
Cooking Time : 3-4 min
Makes : 12 (equal to medium size idlis)

* Idiyappam comes out well if you use the best quality raw rice flour.
* In many recipes I have read to add the rice flour to warm water and mix .But it has never worked for me . I suggest to make soft dough by pouring luke warm water to the flour.
* I have tried making dough with water in room temperature too and idiyappam has came out well too.
* If the dough watery or hard , dough won't come out properly while pressing . So make sure the dough is smooth .

Ingredients


Raw Rice Flour _ 1 cup
Water  _ as needed(use luke warm water)
Salt _ as needed

1.Mix salt with rice flour , pour water and make soft dough .



2.Make soft dough(sightly more softer than chapatti dough) mixing flour with water . 


3. Grease the idli mould or idiyappam mould ( if you have one) and using a traditional idiyappam maker press the dough to idli moulds .Steam for 5 min . Allow it to cool down and remove gently from the mould and serve hot.
