Kerala Idiyappam

The South Indian breakfast delicacy, Kerala Idiyappam, originated in Tamil Nadu and is referenced in Sangam literature as far back as the 1st century AD. The name comes from the Tamil words ‘idi’, meaning ‘broken down’, and ‘appam’, meaning ‘pancake’. Traditionally made with rice flour, adding ragi makes for an even more nutritious twist. The dough is pressed through a special sieve to create fine, intricate strands steamed until tender. The lacy, delicate texture can be enjoyed alongside spicy curries and stews or served with coconut milk and jaggery for a sweet treat.
