Normally Idiyappam is prepared from home made rice flour. Here is the recipe for making idiyappam flour. You can also buy rice flour from store and fry it as above and make idiyappam.
Now-a-days you get frozen Idiyappam. It is very good and saves lot of time. You have to just steam it for five minutes or microwave it.
You can serve it with any kurma / sagu. Vegetable Sodhi is also a good combination to Idiyappam.

Hi Sudhagar,
Yes. Separate Idiyappam plates (it is flat plate) with different sizes are available in the market. Idiyappam press in different types are also available. For bulk and commercial use, you will get very big size vessels.

I have the bronze one which has the iddiyappam atchu.and also will the idli plates would work for iddiyappam too?or do I need a speacial iddiayappam plate?Thanks,Lakshmi
Hi Lakshmi,
Thank you for visiting my site. Yes. You can make idiyappam using the idli plate. If you use the flat idiyappam plate, it looks flat like what we get from hotel/shops.
HI kamala,

Dear Kamala Madam,
Really it is an excellent site madam. It is very useful to the learners. I will be visiting your site frequently and prepare the new items and all likes very much. Instead of tasting one type of recipes i.e.of karnataka, we all liked to taste your recipes very much. My regards & best wishes to you and your family.
Hello Kamala,
After draining the rice, do we have to dry it well or can we just grind it in the mixe soon afterwards?
thanks in advance
karthika
Hi Karthika,
Need not dry it well. However there should not be any water. So you can just spread it on a clean cloth and once all the water is absorbed, then grind it.
Hi Kamala, I was attracted to see your flattened idiyappams instead of the idli type.Now how to make the chappathi kind of shape? Is there a special press for that?
Thanks.
Hi Mercy,
There is no special press for flat Idiyappam. But we have to use the flat plate, which is available now-a-days along with the Idli plate. This plate is flat and round with small holes. If we ask for “Idiyappam Plate” in the Stores, they will show you. Also we get special flat plate made with Bamboo which we get in some places.
