IDIYAPPAM AND POTATO FRY

Idiyappam is one of the finest breakfast, prepared in many households of Tamilnadu. Children love having this with Coconut, Sugar and mixed with Sesame or Gingelly oil. 

My grandmother used to prepare the rice flour using Ural ulakkai and then sieve it. It has a unique taste. It is very difficult to find a house in Tamilnadu without Idiyappam flour. 

INGREDIENTS:

• Roasted Rice Flour - 1 cup
• Warm water
• Grated coconut
• Sugar

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

1) Knead soft dough with rice flour and warm water. 

2) Fill an 'idiyappam' presser with the dough and press it on to idli plates and steam for 5-10 minutes.

3) Serve hot with coconut milk/ grated coconut milk and sugar.
