About Noolputtu

Noolputtu, also known as string hoppers, is a traditional dish from the South Indian state of Kerala and neighboring regions. Made from rice flour, it is prepared by pressing the dough through a sieve-like mold to form fine, noodle-like threads, which are then steamed to perfection. Typically gluten-free and light, Noolputtu is often paired with coconut-based curries or sweetened coconut milk, making it a versatile staple in Kerala cuisine. Its primary ingredient, rice flour, is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy while being low in fat. However, its nutritional profile lacks substantial protein and fiber, so pairing it with protein-rich and vegetable-based sides can help create a balanced meal. Steaming, the cooking method used for Noolputtu, retains nutrients and avoids added fats, which contributes to its healthiness. Its simplicity and gentle texture make it a wholesome option that fits a variety of dietary preferences.
