About Idiyappam
Idiyappam, also known as string hoppers, is a traditional South Indian and Sri Lankan dish made from rice flour, water, and salt. This steamed delicacy is prepared by pressing the dough into thin noodles using a special mold and then steaming them, resulting in soft and fluffy rice strands. It is typically served with coconut-based curries, chutneys, or sweetened coconut milk. Idiyappam is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, making it a healthy option for many diets. Being steamed, it retains nutrients and avoids oil, making it lighter than fried alternatives. However, it is primarily a source of carbohydrates and may lack significant amounts of protein and fiber. Adding sides like lentil-based curries or vegetable dishes can enhance its overall nutritional profile. A staple in coastal cuisines, Idiyappam is not only nourishing but also versatile and easy to digest.
