36 WHEAT FLOUR IDIYAPPAM

Wheat Flour Idiyappam( String Hoppers with Whole Wheat Flour).Godhumai Maavu /Godhuma Pindi / Godhi Hittu Idiyappam / Shavige.


An other interesting version of Idiyappam using Wheat Flour. The outcome was very really very good and at the same time very delicious and tasty. Hubby could not believe that it was out of wheat flour, at the same enjoyed and had his dinner. Asked me to make them again soon. Was really good change for our usual dinner.


Wheat Flour - 3 cups( used Sujatha brand wheat chapathi Flour)
salt - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 2 tsp
Water - to mix




For the savory version:

Onion - 2 medium
Green chillies - 4 slit long
Ginger - 1 inch grated fine
Salt as needed
Oil - 1 1/2 tbsp
Curry Leaves - few
Mustard seeds and Urad dhal - 1/4 tsp each
Coriander Leaves - few chopped
Grated Coconut - 2 tbsp


First dry roast wheat flour till you get a nice aroma or can steam cook in a vessel for 10 - 15 mts. Remove and transfer to a deep bowl. Add salt and oil and mix well. Next pour in hot water to mix. See the flour itself is hot and using hot water will be difficult to mix with hands, so use a spatula or wooden spoon and slowly start mixing. It should be loose in consistency but not watery. Only then it can easily be pressed with the idiyappam/sevai press. Cover with a cloth or lid.


Next take a idiyappam/sevai press and grease with oil. Stuff some mix and cover. Grease a idli plate with oil. Press some idiyappam in each idli hole. Repeat till you are done with all the holes. Next place them in a cooker and steam cook on high for 12 - 15 mts. Remove and cool. Crumble lightly.

For the savory version:-


Heat oil add mustard seeds and urad dhal, waith for few seconds and add curry leaves and chopped onions. Fry till transculent and add slit green chillies and grated ginger. Fry till onions and nic golden brown. Finally add crumbled idiyappam, salt, chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut. Mix well and remove from stove. Serve with coconut chutney or any nice spicy gravy( veg or non veg).
