SHEVYO/STRING HOPPERS


There is a great satisfaction in preparing the  favourite meal of family members. I always love to give them surprise by preparing their favourite dishes.  The smile on their faces while relishing their favourite food is the best reward for all the hard work. 

Shevyo with Chicken curry is in fact the most favourite meal of my family. But i was not able to give them a surprise as i always wanted their help in pressing shevyo/ string hoppers.  

We Mangaloreans follow the lengthy method of soaking boiled rice for 8 hours, grinding to thick paste, steaming and pressing the steamed batter  in the pressing machine.  Here we need a help from others to press the string hoppers. 

This time i tried this quick & easy way of preparing string hoppers/ shevyo  and gave my family a pleasant surprise.  All enjoyed these super soft, silky string hoppers/shevyo with delicious Chicken roce curry.  

This recipe needs no soaking of rice , no grinding, no steaming in advance & no taking anyone's help for pressing the string hoppers/shevyo. 

These string hoppers can be prepared quickly and easily with just 3 ingredients anytime. These are also called as 'idiyappam'.


These soft, silky string hoppers/ shevyo goes very well with any meat or fish curry or can be relished with sambar or chutney for breakfast. 

Here is a step by step recipe for this delicious dish. 

RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups Pathiri podi/powder

  • Salt to taste

You need a chakli /muruku press to prepare these string hoppers.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional
