About Idiappam

Idiappam, also known as string hoppers, is a traditional South Indian and Sri Lankan dish made from rice flour, water, and a pinch of salt. It is steamed and formed into delicate, thin noodle-like strands, creating a light and airy texture. Idiappam is naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and a good source of carbohydrates, making it an energy-rich food. It is typically served with coconut-based curries, vegetable stews, or sweetened coconut milk, offering a versatile base for various meals. The dish is considered healthy due to its low oil content, but its nutritional profile can vary depending on accompaniments. For a balanced meal, pair Idiappam with protein-rich sides and fiber-packed vegetables. As rice is the primary ingredient, it may not be suitable for low-carb diets. Nonetheless, its simple ingredients and preparation make Idiappam a wholesome addition to a nutritious meal plan.
