Light Idiyappam with rich, protein-packed Kadalai Curry - a fiber-rich, soul-satisfying meal to enjoy!

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: 1 serving
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.
