PAAYA recipe plss
As we get excellent varieties of rice noodles in the chinese stores in US, it is very easy to make idiyappam. I used to make kurma or sambar as side dish. I was wondering if anyone can let me know the recipe for paaya which would go well with idiyappam. Thanks in advance.

Hello Bargaviraj,
If u want to have idiappam then buy in the frozen one in indian grocery. The rice noodle u get in chineese store is very different. It won't taste or smell like a idiappam. The chineese one is toally differnt.
I can post a very good chinese rice noodle recipe for you if u want(i got from one of my malaysian friend) and the best brand is
'Asian best brand' It has elephant picture on it.

I think idiyappam and sevvai are both same. In which case rice noodles are excellent. I have tried making sevvai with THAI KITCHEN THIN RICE NOODLES which i bought from kroger. Its very easy to make and very handy. I follow the below procedure for making sevvai.
add rice noodles in boiled water (for exact proportions check directions for use on the cover). close it for few minutes. once done drain excess water if any add salt and mix well.
For seasoning
coconut sevvai
--------------
Heat oil in a pan , add mustard , green chillies,
coconut. fry for just 1 min and add to sevvai , mix well and serve.
Lemon sevvai
------------
Heat oil in a pan , add mustard , green chillies,
tumeric powder. add this to sevvai and add lemon juice.
Try this and i am sure this will become a regular breakfast item since the prepartion time is not even
10 mins!!!!!!!
Regards

Hey Bhargavi,
I usually get emperor rice noodles from chinese stores or concord instant idiyappam from Indian stores. I personally feel that the rice noodles turn out great for idiyappam and is so tender too. The only thing to keep in mind is we got to drain the idiyappam after cooking it for atleast 4 hrs or more to get rid of the moisture. Try it out and hope you will like it.

A simple tip !
When using the chinese noodles - Here is what I do.
1. Add hot boil water to the noodles and close with a lid.
2. Let it stand for 15 ~ 20 mins
3. The noodles should be soft and easy to cut.
4. Now drain the excess water
5. Steam the noodles in a food steamer for 12- 15 mins
http://www.perfectpeninsula.com/IdliSteamer.html
6. If you don't have one you can use the idli tray, split in 2 or 3 batches to steam the noodlies
These noodles will be soft and dry that it can suit any Indian recipe sweet or spicy.
I hope this tip helps
