Idiyappam & Pulissery

Idiyappam/Noolu puttu is a simple breakfast recipe of Kerala. It is usually served with pacha pulissery/mooru kootan & kondatta mulagu. Some people substitute kondatta mulaggu with pappadam which also goes very well with this dish.
This is one of my favourite dishes & I can eat this for breakfast,lunch & dinner.
