Idiyappam/string hopper/nool puttu/chomai/indiappa is a rice noodle dish originating from the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It is made up of rice flour pressed as noodles, into a flat disc-like shape and then steamed.
Traditionallly, it is done by soaking rice, which is then ground into a fine smooth paste and then stirred on low flame continuously till it forms a lump or thick dough. Since it is time consuming ,we can make with store bought rice powder.
