Add 1 teaspoon of Chettinad masala powder along with the other spices for a more robust and aromatic flavor profile.

The idiyappam, made from rice flour, is a good source of carbohydrates, which provide the body with sustained energy to fuel daily activities.
Ingredients like turmeric, onions, tomatoes, and curry leaves are packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.

Absolutely! Leftover or store-bought idiyappam works perfectly for this recipe. In fact, chilled, day-old idiyappam holds its shape better and results in a less mushy dish.
To make it vegan, simply omit the eggs. You can replace them with crumbled firm tofu or add more vegetables like mushrooms, carrots, and bell peppers for texture and protein.
It can be a balanced meal. The eggs provide high-quality protein, and the vegetables offer vitamins and fiber. The idiyappam provides carbohydrates for energy. To make it healthier, you can use minimal oil and add more vegetables.
