Idiyappam or string hopper is one recipe which I make twice a month.I make it sometimes for tiffin for evening or for breakfast or dinner too.In olden days sevai was made using the traditional sevai nazhi. I have it too at home, but made these with homemade rice flour.the one which uses sevai nazhi method is very tough and I remember me and my bro Prakash helping mom to squeeze the sevai out.Good old days!I make several varieties with sevai and want to post it one by one, so that you can see elaborated pictures to understand clearly. I am not a sweet person but to start with an Idiyappam recipe this sounded fare.This one is served with coconut milk.It is highly popular in Kerala and Sri Lanka too.So here goes an easy version of the very traditional Idiyappam my way.Do try out and let me know.

- Boil water and add salt and oil.
- Take rice flour in a vessel.
- Add water slowly.Mix well without forming lumps.
- Water should be warm.Knead well.
- Add the dough in a press or omapodi achu.
- Take an idli stand and smear some oil.Squeze the dough on the mould.Steam for 10 minutes.
- Now idiyappam is done.
- Serve idiyappam with coconut milk.For extracting coconut milk,grind grated coconut and add a little water and sieve.Heat slightly and add sugar and cardamon powder.Mix with freshly made idiyappam and enjoy.
Notes.
You can add plain milk too.
Adding nuts will have an added taste.
