akki shavige recipe | idiyappam recipe | ottu shamige recipe | nool puttu with detailed photo and video recipe. basically, a rice noodles recipe or string hopper recipe which is very authentic breakfast recipe of south india.
while, there are several variations to this recipe, i have followed the authentic south canara version. this recipe is shared from my grandma janaki doddamma and she learned it from her mother. perhaps, it might be the same story with many other in my native. also, this is my first attempt in preparing this age old recipe. i must admit that i am very much satisfied with my fist attempt. well, i did take a lot of help from my husband while preparing it. however, full credit goes to my grandma who explained it to me very well.
furthermore, i want to highlight about the other simple version of this recipe. idiyappam can also be prepared with rice flour. the entire process of soaking and grinding can be totally skipped. however, according to my mom, there is a high chance of going wrong with plain rice flour. with rice flour, it is bit tricky to get a smooth dough and you may end up with solids. hence grinding is always safer, but can be time consuming.
finally, you can also use grated coconut instead of coconut milk while simmering. however i would recommend to use coconut milk. while pressing the noodles, grated coconut can be a issue and may get stuck with the pressing machine. hence coconut milk is always preferred for this recipe. to conclude, i request you to check my other indian breakfast recipes collection. particularly karnataka cuisine recipe collection, udupi cuisine recipe collection and mangalore cuisine recipes collection. also, do visit my idli recipes collection and dosa recipes collection.
