Kerala Style Idiyappam | Kerala Nool Puttu

P

Kerala Style Idiyappam also termed “Nool Puttu” is a traditional styled breakfast dish quite popular in Kerala Cuisine. These are basically string hoppers that go well with any gravy based vegetarian or non-vegetarian curry dishes. These are common breakfast dishes prepared from rice dough and pressed through a seviyan. Kerala Nool Puttu recipe gives you a very smooth and soft idiyappam that tastes great with any kurma or curry based dishes. I love Kerala Style Idiyappam right from my childhood and mom makes it a point to prepare the dish at least twice a week. I used to relish Nool Puttu with some warm milk and sugar and even now I prefer so though it is viewed strangely by others who share my table. Kerala Nool Puttu can also be served with slightly thinned coconut milk sweetened with jaggery or sugar. Preparing Idiyappam is very easy provided you follow a few helpful hints.

Add hot boiling water to roasted rice flour for preparing the rice dough and do not burn your hands. These are basic recipes for beginners in kitchen that act as quintessential tools. There are lots of variations for preparing Idiyappam dish but I am dealing with the basic recipe here. Once you are familiar with the basics, you can go on to other combinations of Idiyappam. Kerala Style Idiyappam is a healthy and wholesome dish that requires steaming. Very few ingredients are required for preparing the dish. Another vital point in preparing soft Kerala Style Idiyappam is using good quality rice flour. Buy appam podi or idiyappam podi from local stores. If you are using raw rice flour, remember to roast well. While roasting raw flour, do not burn the bottom of vessel.
