Idiappam & Sodhi

Idiappam can be made with a special vessel "Idiappam maker" as shown below.This has a stand with plates and a squeezer in which we put the dough.

Or you can also use the traditional nazhi that we normally use for making muruku/karuvadam and the vadam stand.

Ingredients:

=========

• Idiappam flour - I used Readymade Idiappam flour.The recipe for making idiappam flour at home will be posted later.
• salt - to taste.
• Luke warm water - to make the dough.

Method:

======

• Add the flour and salt to a wide open vessel.

• Add luke warm water little by little and knead to a dough as shown below.
• 
  
• It should not stick to your hands and you should be able to form a ball out of it.This will be the consistency of the dough.
• Choose the plate with thin holes for covering the bottom of squeezer.
• Put the dough into the squeezer and close the lid tightly by screwing it clockwise.
• Apply little oil onto the plates and gently rotate the handle of the squeezer so that the idiappam squeezes out through the holes in the bottom.
• Move the squeezer itself in circular motion as you do the above step.This is done to get round shape of idiappam.
• Repeat for all the plates and steam for 5 to 10 min.

Serve hot with sodhi/stew/coconut milk with sugar.
