Prawn stuffed string hoppers
A twist to a classic dish.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Idiyappam is prepared from a dough prepared with rice flour. The idiyappa podi (idiyappam flour) is available in the stores, but it can be prepared at home as well.
- 2
In order to prepare the rice flour, soak raw rice in water for 3 hours. Drain the water and spread the rice on a cloth for 15 minutes. Grind the rice to a very fine powder.
- 3
If you are buying the flour from the store, you dont have to roast the powder, since it is already roasted. If the powder is prepared at home, roast the powder till it turns brown in colour.
- 4
For the filling, saute onion, green chilli, ginger garlic paste and all the powders for 2 minutes.
- 5
Add the tomato, and the prawns. And leave on medium heat till the prawn is cooked through. Add salt to taste.
- 6
Heat water in a vessel and add salt to it. Add the idiyappam flour to it and mix well till a smooth dough is prepared. Add coconut milk to it to improve the smoothness.
- 7
Add a little bit of grated coconut to all the moulds in the idli steamer. Add the dough to the idiyappam sieve and press it over each mould in the idli steamer in a circular motion. Strings of the dough would fall through the sieve.
- 8
Layer the prawn filling on top of the string hopper and top it off with another hopper.
- 9
Steam the idiyappam in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes. You would need 2.5 cups of water.
- 10
Pop out the idiyappams from the idli steamer and they are delicious to eat as it is. No curry needed.

Kerala idiyappam recipe| nool puttu or sevai with rice flour Kerala idiyappam recipe| nool puttu or sevai with rice flour
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.

Prawn coconut pulao Prawn coconut pulao
The recipe today that I will share with you all is inspired by an iconic Bengali actress Satabdi roy. We Bengalis cannot imagine our Sunday meal without non vegetarian food and prawns top the list (among many) in that and I loved her recipe incredibly when I saw it in a cookery show. Eventually as my hubby says it has become a signature dish at my home. Also I must mention it brings back nostalgia for my hubby dear as prawn pulao used to be his Thursday lunch at home in his school days.It is a very easy recipe and unique for a Sunday when your help is on leave and you want to have a less messy affair in the kitchen. So sharing with you all the recipe of prawn coconut pulao with you all. Happy eating!!!
