About Kothu idyapam

Kothu Idiyappam is a traditional Sri Lankan dish that transforms steamed string hoppers (idiyappam) into a flavorful stir-fry. This vibrant dish typically features shredded idiyappam combined with an array of spices, onions, curry leaves, and vegetables, often accompanied by eggs, meat, or seafood for added protein. Its roots in Sri Lankan cuisine reflect a fusion of texture and bold flavors. As a source of energy, Kothu Idiyappam is rich in carbohydrates from the rice flour-based idiyappam. When paired with lean proteins like chicken or eggs and a mix of fresh vegetables, it provides a balanced meal, contributing to protein and fiber intake. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation, as excessive oil or fatty meats may increase calorie and fat content. Incorporating minimal oil and nutrient-rich ingredients makes Kothu Idiyappam a hearty yet health-conscious choice.
