Idiyappam/Rice Noodles(String Hoppers)
Idiyappam is a common breakfast dish in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.It is steamed cooked & easy for digestion.Its made of rice flour.All think making Idiyapam is big process but that's not true.If we learn how to make this one lot of variations can be done so less work and more variety.Traditionally its prepared in an elaborate manner since its fast food life right now so I would go with quick making.The end product is the same which ever method you follow.sometimes getting idiyappam flour is not easy in abroad so I tried to explore with plain rice flour and it came out perfect.

Hi Janani,
Appreciate for your efforts, a suggestion you could add hyper-link to those words ( with sambar or sodhi in Tamil Nadu) wherever you can for eg. for sodhi – the link could direct to sodhi page. (By the way i took those words in the bracket from the last line of this method of recipe.) And another one String Hopper is the English name for Idiyappam.
