Red chillies- 6 Dry roast the above ingredients and grind into a fine powder. Wash 1 cup of Red sorrel leaves and grind the leaves finely. Now in a pan, add 3 tbsp of sesame oil, add 1.5 tbsp of mustard seeds, a bunch of curry leaves and add the red sorrel leaves mixture and mix well for 3 mins.

Instant Idiappam- Baby Food Series

Idiappam, also known as Puttu Mayam in Malaysia/Singapore side, is one of the oldest Indian Breakfast recipes. This is made with Rice flour only. In the olden days, women used to soak rice , dry it in the shade and make the flour, seive it and make it. and if the family size is a dozen, this can easily consume half a day to cook.  What I have tried is the modern variation of the same thing. Though instant idiappam is available these days, I did not prefer that route, as I wanted home cooked fresh food for my baby.  I took 1 cup of rice flour (bought from store), and mixed little salt in it. I poured boiling water little by little in the rice flour and mixed with the wooden ladle and added little sesame oil to this mixture. Then I made a ball with this rice flour mix (like chapathi dough) and used the idiappam maker (muruku maker) and made idiappam in the idli moulds and steamed in for 8 minutes. Tot. cooking time was less than 20 mins. Phew!.
