Light, gut-friendly Idiyappam paired with a rich, homestyle Kerala Egg Curry. Pure protein-packed bliss!
Delicate, thread-like steamed rice noodles from South India. Idiyappam, also known as string hoppers, is a light and healthy breakfast that pairs wonderfully with sweet coconut milk or savory curries.
Serving size: 4 pieces
Soak and Grind the Rice: Wash the raw rice thoroughly in running water 3-4 times, or until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in ample fresh water for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Drain the water completely. Add the soaked rice to a high-speed blender or wet grinder. Add about 1 cup of fresh water and grind to a very smooth, fine batter. Add more water in small increments as needed to get a smooth, flowing consistency, similar to dosa batter.
Cook the Dough: Pour the ground batter into a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan. Add the salt and sesame oil to the batter and mix well. Place the pan on medium-low heat. Stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. The batter will start to thicken. Keep stirring and cooking for about 8-10 minutes until it comes together as a single, non-sticky, soft dough ball.
Prepare and Press the Dough: Transfer the hot dough to a large bowl or plate. Let it cool for 3-4 minutes until it's warm enough to handle. While it's still warm, grease your hands with a little oil and knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it's smooth and pliable. Grease your idiyappam press (sevai maker) and the idli plates or steamer trays. Take a portion of the warm dough and fill the press. Press the dough onto the greased plates in a circular motion to form noodle nests.

Steam the Idiyappam: Boil water in a steamer or idli cooker. Place the plates with the pressed idiyappam inside the steamer. Cover and steam on medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. The idiyappam is cooked when it looks firm and is no longer sticky to the touch. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes before opening the lid. Gently remove the idiyappam from the plates and serve hot.
Prepare the eggs: Gently make 2-3 shallow slits on each hard-boiled egg with a knife. This helps them absorb the masala. Set aside.
Temper the spices: Heat coconut oil in a wide pan or kadai over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter completely. Then, add the dried red chilies and curry leaves, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sauté the aromatics: Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté for 8-10 minutes until they are soft and golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies, and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Cook the base: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn soft and mushy, and oil starts to separate from the masala.
Add spice powders: Reduce the heat to low. Add the turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, and black pepper powder. Stir continuously for 1 minute until aromatic, ensuring they don't burn.
Build the gravy: Pour in the thin coconut milk and add salt. Mix well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes.
Simmer with eggs: Gently place the slit boiled eggs into the gravy. Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes. This allows the eggs to absorb the flavors of the curry.
Finish the curry: Turn the heat to the lowest setting. Pour in the thick coconut milk and sprinkle the garam masala. Stir gently to combine. Heat through for just 1-2 minutes. Do not let the curry boil, as the thick coconut milk may curdle. Turn off the heat.
Garnish and rest: Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Let the curry rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot with appam, idiyappam, or steamed rice.
