Stir Fry String Hopper

 

This is the great recepi with leftover string hoppers or iddiappam. Easy peasy recepi which can be prepared in a simplest way. Some call it kothu iddiappam and some as iddiappam uppuma. Whatever name it is the taste matters and I shall say it's delicious 😋. I made this with leftover iddiappam from our previous night dinner and Dandelion love this stir fry string hoppers for their breakfast.

Different from our usual sweet iddiappam with sugar and sheredded coconut or the savoury version of dipping the vegetable stew or gravies,  this recepi is a must to try. I have made the non-spicy version you may add chilly powder or chilly flakes for hot and spicy iddiappam. 

This stir fry iddiappam are great to dish out for family gathering or as a tea time treat with a cuppa. It's a healthier dinner option as well. Guess, with this yummy iddiappam recepi there'll be no more issues of having unsolved  leftover iddiappam issue 😀.
