Description

Last month there was a food fare at my home town in tirunelveli about cooking with multigrain’s in a healthy way . A small step taken by the local women to bring awareness of the health benefits of using multigrain’s instead of rice to avoid the intake of carbohydrates . I made sure to take my cook also along with me and we both patiently went through each and every stall in the food fare . We were given samples of the displayed food and the recipes were shared by request . There were three dishes that really kept me interested and I made sure to get all the recipes as well . This multigrain healthy powder iddiappam was one among the three dishes . I was surprised about the iddiappams being soft after so many hours as the food fare timing was from evening 3 to 7 . Tried the recipe and it was as good as the normal rice flour iddiappams expect for the change in colour with vitality , texture and spot on flavour when paired with a home made savoury curry . Hubby dear didn’t complain as well so these iddiappams are a sure addition to my regular menu at home that’s healthy goodness on the table for the pleasure of it .
