Instructions: To begin making Idiyappam/Sevai Recipe, first wash and soak the rice in water, such that the rice is completely immersed in water.Let it soak for about 2 hours. Transfer to a mixer and grind to get a smooth paste. It must be of semi-thick pouring consistency and not of a liquid consistency. The next step is to make the steamed dumplings/ idli and then the make the idiyappam /sevai in the sevai maker.Place the sevai/ idiyappam batter in greased idli molds and steam for 10 minutes. Once the rice idlis are steamed we will make the sevai.The next step is the press the hot idlis in the sevai/ idiyappam maker or the sevai maker or a press, also called as Sevai Nazhi.This is the most crucial stage. The idlis should be hot when you press to make the noodles. If it turns cold you will not be able to press the dumplings to get the noodles.Proceed to hot press one at a time by turning the wheels of the sevai nazhi to get the uber soft noodles.Continue till you are done with all the sevai idli. Transfer the sevai/ idiyappam to a large bowl as and when you finish.The homemade sevai/ idiyappam is now ready to be flavoured or eaten. Serve the Homemade Idiyappam/ Sevai Recipe, for a South Indian breakfast or South Indian dinner along with Mixed Vegetable Korma or Kerala Style Vegetable Stew Recipe with Coconut Milk.
