Drizzle a teaspoon of coconut oil and add few chopped curry leaves and close the pan for few minutes say 5 -7 minutes.

We enjoyed with Idiyappam/Noolappam
Idiyappam is also called Noolappam or Noolputtu.
1 Cup = 250Ml Cup
Ingredients 
1 Cup Rice Flour - I have used Double Horse brand
1 Cup Water
½ Cup Coconut Milk
1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil
½ Teaspoon Sea salt or to taste

Method

Take the rice flour and lightly roast it for 2 -3 minutes stirring continuously, taking care that it doesn't change the color.

I have used this brand of rice flour.

Boil Water and coconut milk in a pressure cooker along with salt and coconut oil. 

When it comes to a rolling boil, lower the flame and slowly add rice flour and mix well, with a wooden spatula, till no traces of white flour is seen, switch off the flame. Close the cooker with the whistle/weight on and remove from the stove top and keep aside for 15 minutes. 

Then open the cooker and transfer the dough to a big bowl or thal and continue kneading. 

When the mix is still warm but not too hot to handle, grease your hand and knead to a soft dough. Take one portion of the dough and close the remaining with a cloth and again with a lid to keep the moist. 

Take the Idiyappam maker and put the dough and press into greased idly moulds or any flat plate. 

Steam it for 7 minutes and take it out and transfer into a casserole or wide bowl and cover with a cloth.

Repeat the same procedure for rest of the dough. 

So the tasty and soft the Idiyappam is ready to serve . My favorite combination is with Egg Stew or Kadala Curry.

My Notes

Idiyappam  can be made with only water too

I have tried without coconut milk, prefer with coconut milk since it makes the Idiyappam softer and tastier.
