Ingredients
•Rice flour-1 cup
•Water-1 cup
•Ghee or Butter (Optional)-1 tsp
•Salt-to taste
•Grated Coconut-1/2 a cup
Directions
1.Idiappams are a typical Keralite breakfast. Since they are steamed, they are a healthy breakfast.
2.Keep a vessel on the stove, add one cup of water and bring it to boil. Add salt to taste and the ghee/butter. Once the water starts boiling, add the rice flour. Switch off the stove and stir it to make it into a smooth or soft dough. Fill it in an idiappam mould and close it. Take an idly tray and lightly grease them. Now into the tray, allow the dough to pass through the idiappam mould. Make a thin layer first and then add the freshly grated coconut and then make another layer of idiappam. Pour some water into the cooker/steamer and make sure that the water is boiling before you place the idly trays. Steam in a cooker for about five minutes.
3.You could serve idiappams with thick coconut milk, flavored with cardamom powder and sugar. Idiappams taste great with Egg curry or any spicy curry too.
