Idiyappam

Can you think of any noodles that can be made in 2-4 mts...All our minds will start think about Maggie/Top Ramen noodles on hearing 2 mts...But in reality, everyone knows that maggie also takes more than 2 mts...But idiyappam, the simple south indian food can be made in exactly2-3 mts..and with simple ingredients..But it comes only at the cost of having the maker..very surprised to see a wiki info for this tasty food(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiyappam)
No of people/serving - 3

Ingredients
  1. Rice flour - 2 cups
  2. Water
  3. Oil
  4. Salt

And that is it...lets go to method

Method
  1. Boil water in a pan and add 1/2-1 tsp of salt according to your taste..(little salt is sufficient enough)
  2. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the boiling water
  3. When the water gets to boil., pour it to the rice flour slowly
  4. Knead the flour and make it to a soft dough like we make of chappathi
  5. Put it in idiyappam maker and spread it on idli plate.
  6. Boil it in cooker for 4-5 mts..let it cool
  7. Sprinkle coconut flakes to add flavor

This is one dish which you can make it to yummy/salty according to your taste buds...It goes very well with sugar/vegetable kuruma...
