Tamarind idiyappam or puli idiyappam, an instant recipe with idiyappam or sevai that’s spicy, tangy, and delicious. Growing up, this tamarind idiyappam was a specialty dish at home since we just ate idiyappam with stew or ghee and sugar and it rarely got made into anything else.

We also use the terms sevai and idiyappam interchangeably. I don’t believe we’ve ever made sevai the traditional way. Our idiyappam or sevai was made with rice flour mixed with hot water and then pressed through a mould onto trays which were then steamed until soft and fluffy.

I have always loved tamarind based stuff like puliyogare and puli sadam, especially when traveling when Amma would pack it tightly in wilted banana leaves with a spicy thick coconut chutney. Such lovely memories surrounding them. My family loves tamarind idiyappam and lemon sevai so much that we served it along with poori and such for tiffin the night before my wedding day.

If you have some leftover idiyappam or buy instant sevai, this tamarind idiyappam is a must-try. A little goes a long way and is a perfect meal to start the day or when you feel peckish during tea time.
