IDIYAPPAM(இடியாப்பம் )/SEVAI(சேவை) WITH COCONUT MILK

IDIYAPPAM (இடியாப்பம்)OR SEVAI(சேவை) WITH COCONUT MILK

Idiyappam/இடியாப்பம் is a healthy food that can make for breakfast or dinner. It is easily digestible and also easy to make.
It is my all time favourite. Traditionally it is made by using the rice flour which undergone few process such grinding, steaming then sieving and at last drying. Using this flour we can make kozhukkattais also.

Though the process of making idiyappam flour seems lengthy it will make our idiyappam and kozhukkatais as very soft and tasty.

You can get the readymade idiyappam flour in shops. But in my house my MIL is still preparing her own idiyappam flour. So we never buy from shops.

We can eat as it is with coconut milk. Also it goes well with some spicy gravies such as Tomato kurma.

This idiyappam is the basis for preparing variety of sevai such as lemon sevai, sweet sevai, carrot sevai etc.,

You can prepare this with normal rice flour but it wont come as soft as idiyappam flour.
