Idiyappam (String Hoppers)

This is one compulsory breakfast at home atleast once a week and only on working days!!!! Now you must have guessed why... yes, it is very easy to make!!!! If you have fried rice flour in your larder, all you have to do is boil water for the dough and warm the milk to go with the idiyappam.
                                                                                                                                  
                                                  

Rice Flour; 1 cup
Boiling Water: 1 cup                              
Salt: to taste

Mix the Rice flour, salt and water with a spoon (otherwise you'll burn your fingers)
Keep it for a few minutes and when you feel you can handle the mix with your hand, make a pliable dough.
Now take your idly cooker and grease the idly plates with a little oil.
Now take a small portion of the dough and place it inside the idiyappam maker and press the dough out in circles into the idly plate.
Steam it for 15 minutes on medium flame.
You can make any coconut milk based curry to go with it but Iam very happy with warm milk and sugar and my husband likes it with coconut milk and sugar.
