Kerala Idiyappam

This is my saturday breakfast . It takes some time and is a little painful ; but worth every bit of time spend. This is usually made from fine rice flour . I use the regular packet rice flour we get in indian grocery shops . But if you get idiyappam flour , which is the fine and well roasted version , get those . Idiyappam can be served with a variety of sides , my favorites being egg roast , beef fry and vegetable kurma . And if you add some sugar to the coconut , you get the sweet version ; which is a perfect evening snack.The ingredients are fine rice powder , salt , a bit of vegetable oil and water . You need the idiyappam press , idli moulds and a steamer for making these .And here is the recipe for Vegetable Stew.




METHOD
















STEP 1: Take 2 glasses for rice powder with about 1 tsp of salt and 2 tsp vegetable oil . Mix well using awooden spoon















STEP 2: Bring 3 cups of water to a rolling boil . Add half of the water to the rice , mix . Then add the rest of the water and mix well .














STEP 3: Sir well till the rice forms a soft dough.















STEP 4: Grease idli moulds .Place about 2 tsp of fresh grated coconut into each mould. Then pass the idiyappam dough through the press and form one appam in each mould















STEP 5: Steam the appams for about 7 minutes .Serve with your favorite curry
