Stuffed idiyappam is a fancy fusion of traditional idiyappam, with a masala vegetable filled in it.
My mom-in-law tried this out after watching this in a TV cookery show,4 years back 😎. She uses microwave idli steamer.
Since I don't have that, I have given here stove top method. The stuffing part is up to you, use your creativity to experiment and suit your tastes.
Usually I make idiyappam with the ready mix(rice flour) available here in Singapore(BABA'S).
Comes out really soft and moist. I usually prepare the basic white idiyappam and with that I mix and make idiyappam varieties.
So for a change (okay, may be for blogging too) I tried this out after 4 years 😉,though I wanted to try it out for long time.
If you have guests at home, you can make this for Breakfast/dinner along with some thing else. I made coconut chutney with this as side dish. Was tasting great!

Instructions
For Idiyappam:

- Grind the coconut first then add cumin/ fennel, onion and green chillies (if adding) and grind to a coarse paste, with only very little water.
- Heat kadai/pan with oil and temper with the tempering items given and then add the veggies. Stir fry for a minute.
- Add the ground masala to this veggie and cook in medium low flame for 3-4 minutes till the raw smell disappears. remove from fire.
To make stuffed idiyappam
- Fill in your idiyapam press with enough dough and take a greased idly plate and draw a single layer.
- Keep one or two tablespoon of the prepared stuff above it and again layer it with the idiyappam to completely cover the stuff.
- Repeat it to fill the idly plate and steam this for 3-4 minutes.
- Serve hot with coconut chutney to rise your guest's eye brows
Notes
- Fennel and curry leaves gives awesome flavor.
- You can make without coconut as well.
- Before keeping the idly plate into the idly pot, let the water boil.
- Don't over cook, to get just soft and fluffy idiyappams.

Anj says
Dear raks, I don't have an idiappam lesser and usereadymade sevai pkts where u soak in hot water and it gets cooked. Should I steam it again with the veggies? Can I try this with the readymade sevai pkts?
Anj says
Dear Raks, will these come out well with the readymade sevai pkts? Should we steam them again after soaking it in hot water?
Raks anand says
Not sure if it will bind together to hold the idli shape. May be it will fall apart. You can try little bit as trial
Priya Dharshini says
Wow... First when I saw this recipe I wondered how the masala was stuffed.. Really yummy and tempting
