Idiyappam or string hoppers are popular South Indian breakfast dish made of very few ingredients like rice flour and water. In Kerala, these are usually served with vegetable stew. In some parts of Kerala, these are called nool puttu, while in Tamil Nadu, sevai is a popular breakfast dish. I’ll give you plenty of tips and tricks to make your family go ‘wow’.Ok, let’s do this. Start with the number one tip.1. Use good quality rice flourIf you really want to make idiyappams that taste great, you need to buy good quality rice flour. Classic idiyappam recipes call for raw rice flour. And that’s exactly why you must visit your local Indian grocery store. Raw rice flour is totally different from the regular rice flour you buy from other grocery stores.2. Roast the flourRoasted rice flour is readily available from Indian chops. Look for “idiyappam podi, appam podi” etc. If you can’t find roasted rice flour for your idiyappam recipe, buy regular rice flour and roast it at home. All you need to do is lightly fry it over low flame. Don’t forget to stir continuously.3. Use boiling waterIt is important to allow the water to come to a boil before adding it to rice flour. Warm water is not enough if you want soft and delicious idiyappam.4. Don’t let dough cool completelyWell, this is obviously a very important tip. While you’re pressing the idiyappam, the dough needs to be slightly warm. That way, idiyappam remains soft and holds it's shape really well.

#deepfried - This can be a perfect party appetizer. Made from some leftover Idiyappam (string hoppers) and ground urad dal. My first try and they came out absolutely yummy. So go ahead and give it a try and surprise your loved ones. Serve along with tomato sauce, green chutney, mayo or hummus. They can also be relished as a side dish with dal chawal, curd rice or sambar rice.

#coolerHealthy simple Coolant for this scorching heat. Finger Millet ( ragi) flour is used

Ragi /Nachni is a very healthy millet especially for people suffering from diabetes . If it is included in our daily diet it will keep the sugar level balanced . With this easy recipe you can prepare hotel style thin and crispy ragi dosas at home itself.

Finger millet is a great source of iron and calcium. With this recipe, we can make kali (ragi ball) that can be eaten with any gravy. We can also make koozh(porridge) by mixing the ball with buttermilk.

Enjoy this healthy delicious Ragi Flour Rotti!

Yummy healthy modified version of rava Upma and a regular breakfast item at my place. Nutritionally, this is made from Ragi (or nachni) Dalia. It is rich in iron, calcium and fiber and tastes great!!

This is one drink which i made recently and i am in love with it. This is great for breakfast during hot summer days, since having hot ragi malt is impossible these days. I made this chocolate version for me and my lil one, a sathumaavu version for hubby. He loved it so much. You will never find ragi added in this drink unless mentioned. The ragi just act as a thickening agent and gives a nice creamy texture to the smoothie.

My simple rustic lunch today... Ragi and brown rice mudde with moolangi sambar 😄😄 #onmyplateRagi mudde/ finger Millet flour balls are a staple diet of kannadigas.. it's commonly known as farmer's food, as ragi keeps the stomach full for longer without giving a heavy and lethargic feeling.. it cools your body by bringing down the body heat and is a super nutritious Millet! Needless to say it is a healthy flour, rich sauce of calcium, protein and iron.. It is usually had with a watery broth made out of greens mostly.. called bas-saaru..or massoppu saaru which is basically the broth got from cooking the greens and lentils. Today I paired it with my all time favourite moolangi sambar (radish curry). I have said it before also, I love this vegetable! I feel it's very underrated!The twist in the mudde today is, I've added brown rice.. just as a trial.. Mudde is usually done purely out of ragi flour.. you need a good practice to get the proportions and handling right when doing this.. as it can end up becoming one hard lump or a watery mess!! Believe me, I've been there, done that and thrown it away too 😝. So, just to make it easier to handle, I added some rice and it turned out yum!Topped it with ghee and poured hot sambar.. my lunch is done right! 😄#myfirstrecipe
