I for Idiyappam
Continuing with the list of regional dishes, now I move to the letter I.
And when we think of food from I , the first thing that comes to our mind is the most common working lunch / snacks prevalent across India - Idli Sambhar. Nice taste, light & healthy food, no use of oil served with Sambhar and south indian coconut chutney . You can go for it any time.
The second common in this is the North Indian famous sweet - Imarti. And you would start craving for it the moment you think of it. So in the Corona affected lockdown period , you can try making it at home or its simper version Jalebi.
But here we would talk about Idiyappam, another rice based dish from South India. Idiyappam is enjoyed across Kerala, Sri Lanka & even in Tamil Nadu.
Idiyappam or String Hoppers is an easy to make delicious, steamed rice noodle. It is made instantly from rice flour,and is enjoyed with Veg Kurma / Sambhar / and sweetened coconut milk in breakfast or at dinner.
