Heirloom Classics from Paati’s Kitchen — Idiyappam & Paniyaram Reimagined at IDlish
Some recipes don’t just feed — they tell stories. Idiyappam and Paniyaram are two such heirloom treasures that have travelled from Tamil homes to Mumbai’s dining tables, thanks to Paati’s timeless recipes and Meenamma’s creative touch. At IDlish, we celebrate these dishes as symbols of our roots — simple, soulful, and versatile enough to suit every generation.
The Story — Two Dishes, One Heritage
Both Idiyappam and Paniyaram trace their roots to Tamil Nadu’s southern kitchens. Made from the same foundation of rice and urad dal, these dishes reflect the ingenuity of our ancestors — transforming humble ingredients into meals that comfort, nourish, and delight. While Idiyappam whispers serenity, Paniyaram brings a playful crunch — together, they embody the heart of Tamil cooking.
Idiyappam — Strings of Serenity
Delicate strands of steamed rice noodles, light as air yet deeply satisfying — Idiyappam (or String Hoppers) has long been the pride of Tamil breakfasts. Traditionally paired with sweetened coconut milk or spicy vegetable kurma, it’s a dish that bridges simplicity and sophistication.
At IDlish, we serve Idiyappam just the way Paati did — soft, tender, and pure — with options to enjoy it sweet, savoury, or even with a healthy millet twist. It’s naturally gluten-free, light on the stomach, and full of warmth — perfect for health-conscious foodies from Oberoi Mall to Thakur Village.
Paniyaram — Bite-Sized Joy
Golden, crispy on the outside, and soft inside — the Paniyaram is Tamil Nadu’s answer to comfort snacking. Crafted in the iconic cast-iron ‘Kuzhi’ pan, these little balls of happiness were once breakfast staples in every Chettinad home.
At IDlish, we bring both **traditional and fusion versions**. The classic savoury Paniyaram pairs beautifully with coconut chutney or tomato dip, while the sweet version uses natural jaggery instead of refined sugar. And then comes Meenamma’s twist — the crowd-favourite **Choco Lava Paniyaram served sizzling hot with ice cream!** A dessert drama that’s as Tamil as it is trendy.
