Indian food

Idiyappam

Also called: Idiyappam, Идиаппам, String hoppers

Vegan

Rice noodles pressed into nests and steamed, soft, white, almost weightless. Eaten with coconut milk and sugar for breakfast, or with a vegetable stew when it stands in for bread.

How it's eaten

Press the nest flat with the back of a spoon so the coconut milk soaks through.
