Kothu Idiyappam/ Kothu String hoppers

Kothu idiyappam

Kothu idiyappam - a special menu for the evenings at WestPark, the beach side restaurant in Maldives. Srilankan hotels are very peculiar in their usual menu, we can just jump in around 7.30 – 8 pm for the hot spicy kothu idiyappam with chicken, egg and veg varieties. I use the left over idiyappam to make kothu at home.

Ingredients:

Idiyappam – 5 nos, cooked/leftover

Onion – 1, finely chopped

Garlic – 4-5 nos

Carrots – 1, chopped length wise

Beans – 3, chopped length wise

Green chillies – 2 nos

Chicken powder – 1 tbsp

Oil – as required

Curry leaves – a sprig

Method:

Heat oil in a pan/cheenachutty – fry chopped garlic, onion, green chillies with curry leaves. 

Add rest of the ingredients with a tbsp of water and cook on low flame. 

Break idiyappam into pieces. 

Add idiyappam pieces with the cooked vegetables and mix well. Serve hot kothu idiyappam with raita.
