Idiyappam


My Mum in law made Idiyappam flour in India for Jasmine, she dried the rice flour to make it for her first granddaughter so sweet of her.
She reconstituted it with water to make a dough then used the special strainer to make the Indian noodles as she calls them! this takes a lot of strength (I remember trying to do it in India unsuccessfully) so hubby was roped in.

It was then steamed. In India it is served with milk and sugar for babies, this is how Jasmine had hers.
I had some with dal, it tastes really good, but a lot of work to make!



What special foods did your Grandma give you?

My British Grandma always gave us chocolate cake and yorkshire puddings, in fact she still does I say smiling

Love

  1. Good thing the hubby was there. Hehe...

    I never knew my grandparents, but I think they'd feed me a lot of rice.

  2. I didn't grow up with my grandparents, sniff sniff...I was all the way over in Singapore while they were in Korea. But I still remember when my grandma would make fried potato tempuras for me when I visited. Ah, good memories....

    As told by my dad, my grandparents were great in cooking and baking as they held their own food business.But I never had the chance to try their cooking :(

  12. Well, my one grandmother was an alcoholic and the other is crazy ... so no nurturing on that front! However my great grandmother made Southern fried chicken you would kill for. In fact, if she were still alive I would probably eat meat again if she showed up with a plate of that.
    A sweet post - it's nice to see that some grandmas have their act together!
