How to prepare Nool Puttu or Idiyappam?

Boil water with salt. As the water starts to boil, add the roasted rice powder and make the dough. Then take enough dough to fill the seva nazhi (idiyappam mould) and press it down to fill the pits on the holder plate. Top them up with grounded coconut. You may now place the holder plates inside the vessel for steaming. All it takes is just 3 or 4 minutes to cook the idiyappam or nool puttu in the steamer.

Try this out for your breakfast and it goes well with different types of curries.
