Method of Preparation:
Idiappams are a typical Keralite breakfast. Since they are steamed, they are
a healthy breakfast.
Keep a vessel on the stove, add one cup of water and bring it to boil. Add
salt to taste and the ghee/butter. Once the water starts boiling, add the rice
flour. Switch off the stove and stir it to make it into a smooth or soft dough.
Fill it in an idiappam mould and close it. Take an idly tray and lightly grease
them. Now into the tray, allow the dough to pass through the idiappam mould.
Make a thin layer first and then add the freshly grated coconut and then make
another layer of idiappam. Pour some water into the cooker/steamer and make
sure that the water is boiling before you place the idly trays. Steam in a cooker
for about five minutes.
You could serve idiappams with thick coconut milk, flavored with cardamom powder
and sugar. Idiappams taste great with Egg curry or any spicy curry too.
