Idiappam aka String Hoppers
Singaporean and Malaysian children grew up eating puttu mayam with freshly grated coconut and orange or brown sugar. Though in Singapore it is called puttu mayam, it is known as Idiyappam, Noolputtu, Noolappam, Sevai or semige in different parts of India where it is usually served with a curry or sweet coconut milk. I have eaten puttu mayam in Kerala with mashed banana and coconut and it was a delicious gluten-free vegan breakfast. PUTTU MAYAM AKA IDIAPPAM 250g rice flour1 tsp oil1/2 tsp salt400ml boiling water
