Idiyappam, or string hoppers, is a traditional Kerala favourite — delicate steamed strands of rice flour, light and soft, served fresh at Malabar Kitchen. A wholesome, gluten-friendly staple, it pairs beautifully with our Kerala curries or a sweet coconut milk. Authentic South Indian comfort food in Peterborough.
Idiyappam is a cherished Kerala breakfast and dinner dish made by pressing soft rice-flour dough into fine strands and steaming them into delicate, lacy nests. Naturally light and easy to digest, idiyappam has a subtle flavour that makes it the perfect canvas for Kerala's rich curries.
At Malabar Kitchen we serve our idiyappam fresh and soft, ideal with chicken or vegetable curry, egg roast, or simply with sweetened coconut milk. It's a comforting, authentic taste of South India that's a must-try for Peterborough food lovers. Available dine-in, takeout, and delivery.
