String hoppers or Idiyappam is a traditional south Indian recipe. It is prepared using rice. My mom usually makes the Idiyappam from scratch in home. As I don't have the Idiyappam vessel in US, I get the instant Idiyappam. There are many versions of this sevai /santhakkai / Idiyappam /Rice Noodles / Indian Noodles. I have already posted Lemon sevai, Tamarind Sevai and Tomato sevai. Please check below for detailed step by step instructions and pictures for preparing Coconut Sevai | Thengai Idiyappam.
