Noolputtu - Kerala Style Idiyappam - Steamed Rice Noodles...

Ingredients

1. Roasted Rice Powder - 2 cups (I used Double Horse)
2. Boiling Water - 1 1/2 to 2 cups
3. Salt - as needed
4. Grated Coconut - 1 cup or as needed
5. Oil - 1 Tsp

Preparation

• Boil water with oil and enough salt.
• Take the roasted rice powder in a bowl and gradually add the boiling water little by little. Mix with a wooden spatula.
• Add water till you get a smooth and soft dough (be careful the dough will be hot). The dough should not be too tight and it should not be sticky also.
• Boil water in the steamer.
• Grease the idli steamer with little oil. (it will prevent the Idiyappam from sticking) and sprinkle little grated coconut on these moulds.
• Fill the idiyappam maker with smooth dough and rotate the handle. 
• Fill the idli moulds with the noodles coming out of the idiappam maker.
• Once the steam comes from the steamer, place the filled idli moulds and steam the idiyappams for about 8 - 10 minutes. Cook on medium flame. Once done, take out the moulds and leave for 2-3 minutes.
• Serve hot with any curry.. or it can be best served with sugar and thick coconut milk.

Note

• If using home made rice powder, roast it well to the perfect.
• If using an ready-made , use the best quality one.
• Do no add too much water to the dough, as it will be difficult to get the dough out of the mould and strings will not be perfect.
