String hoppers paired with a delicate vegetable stew in coconut milk — the vegetarian counterpart to idiyappam with egg curry. The stew is identical to the appam stew in Recipe 1 but served in larger quantities to properly soak the idiyappam nests. This is the standard Sunday morning breakfast for Kerala's vegetarian Hindu households.

📖 Cultural notes

|---|---|---|---|---| | 410 kcal | 7 g | 62 g | 16 g | 5 g | Idiyappam-ishtu is the standard vegetarian Sunday breakfast of Kerala's upper-caste Hindu households, particularly in Thrissur and Palakkad districts. The white colour of both idiyappam (white noodles) and pale golden stew makes it a visually serene and auspicious combination, considered suitable for temple days and fasting periods. ---
