String Hopper, known as "idiyappam" in South India and Sri Lanka, is a traditional dish made from steamed rice flour dough, pressed into thin strands and shaped into small nests. Incorporating coconut milk or lightly spiced curries as accompaniments, it is a staple in Southeast Asian cuisines. The base ingredient, rice flour, is gluten-free and easy to digest, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. With minimal oil and no frying involved, String Hopper is a health-conscious choice, though its high carbohydrate content means portion control is essential for balanced eating. Often enjoyed for breakfast or dinner, this versatile dish is rich in culture and flavor while offering a lighter alternative to heavy, oil-laden meals.
