Idiyappam recipe, Kerala Nool puttu |Idiyappam with rice flour also known as string hoppers is very much a staple breakfast recipe in south India especially in Kerala. This is an Instant version made with rice flour while the traditional nool puttu is made with rice soaked, made to batter, cooked as idlis and then squezzed through the seva nazhi

Nowadays, we use the kitchen press/idiyappam maker to make the idiyappam which is not only easier but quick too compared to seva nazhi which required lot of effort.

when I posted the sevai recipes 4 ways – lemon sevai, tomato sevai, coconut sevai and pepper sevai which is very popular in street shops in Coimbatore, I got requests to post thin idiyappam recipe. So, I wanted to shoot this recipe.

For a thin sevai/idiyappam/nool puttu, it depends on the “chillu” (perforated thin sheet) through which the dough is pressed. We would need the finest holes as i have shown in the video below.

4. Prepare an idiyappam press with super thin holes like in pic below and fill it with the dough while it is still warm. Don’t wait for it to cool. All the process has to happen quick. For a soft idiyappam, squeeze the dough while it is hot/warm.

5. Arrange a plate with banana leaves and grease it. I have used the idiyappam maker stand. You can also cook it in idli pan. If your making it regularly, i suggest getting this one. Its comfortable and easy to use. Press the dough starting from center and round again ending in the center. Dont make it too crowded.
