From the serene backwaters to mouthwatering dishes, Kerala is a delightful state nestled in the heart of the southern part of India. For someone who enjoys healthy breakfast options prepared with a blend of simple ingredients, then one such dish straight from Kerala cuisine is ragi idiyappam with coconut chutney.
Idiyappam also referred to as ‘Nool Puttu’ are string hoppers that are basically considered a reminisce of sevai or seviya prepared primarily with rice flour. For all the weight watchers and food enthusiasts out there, you can find great alternatives for this recipe.
Ragi or finger millet flour is incorporated into the idiyappam recipe along with rice flour to elevate the nutrition profile of this South Indian dish. For soft, healthy and smooth idiyappam, roasting ragi flour before preparing the dish is equally important.
Since ragi is considered a powerhouse of antioxidants and proteins, people have started adding finger millet dishes to the menu to make the most of the day. Some of the significant benefits of ragi are strengthening the immune system and improving overall health.
South Indian cuisine boasts a combination of dishes that promise to satiate every palate. From breakfast and lunch to snacks and dinner, you can try a variety of dishes for a flavourful morning. Here is a quick recipe for ragi idiyappam for a healthy breakfast.
