Iddiyappam Sev Puris (Rice Noodle Puris)

"Sev Puris" is one of the most popular street foods in Mumbai. I tried this fun and healthy twist to the traditional sev puris that is crispy, yumm, and Gluten Free!!!

Make you Iddiyappams (Rice Noodles)

Rice Flour - 1 and 1/2 cup

Hot Water - about 3/4 cup

Hot Water - just enough to soak the noodles

Method:

1. If you are using the ready made noodles, just soak them in hot water till the water is completely absorbed.

2. To make the Traditional Iddiyappams, first take the rice flour in a bowl. Roast the rice flour in a microwave for 3 minutes.
