Idiyappam
Idiyappam is a famous breakfast in Kerala as well as Tamilnadu..Donno who invented it..To my knowledge puttu and idiayappam are from 'Gods own Country' Kerala. Kerala is a greenish place with trees and sea surrounding them. I have been all parts of Kerala. My favourites are Trivendrum Beach and Allepey Back waters..When I was in Coimbatore, we spend most of the vacation in kerala..I love their puttu, Idiyappam and big rice (donno the name). Idiyappam and coconut milk is lovely combo..u can just keep eating U never know how many idiyappam u had!!!
Likewise in tamilndu, Idiyappam and Paya (attukal kozhumbu) is a famous breakfast. When u add the spicy paya to the soft idiyappam..it just melts away in ur mouth..wooow what an amazing taste...mouth watering even to think about it...
Ingredients:
Idiyappam
Raw rice or Rice flour 1 cup
1 cup warm water
1 pinch of salt
Coconut milk
1 cup coconut milk
1 tsp cardamom seeds

Preparation:
Traditional process:
Soak raw rice for 6 hours. Grind it to a thick batter..slightly thicker than idli batter. Heat a non stick pan and transfer the batter to the pan. Keep stirring on a low fame. Once the water is absorbed and the batter becomes thick like a soft dough. Remove from heat and let it cool down.
Fill the idiyappam press with the dough and make desired shape in idli pan. Steam it for 15 mts or until done...
