Idiyappam, also known as string hoppers, is a traditional South Indian and Sri Lankan dish made from rice flour, water, and salt. The dough is pressed into delicate, noodle-like strands and steamed, resulting in a light, fluffy texture. Often enjoyed with coconut-based curries or sweetened with jaggery and coconut milk, Idiyappam is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, making it a healthy option for those with dietary restrictions. Rich in carbohydrates, it serves as an energy-boosting meal but may lack significant protein and fiber, so pairing it with nutrient-dense accompaniments is common. As it is steamed rather than fried, Idiyappam is lower in calories compared to other preparation methods, making it a well-balanced addition to a wholesome diet when consumed in moderation.
