Coconut stuffed idiyappam

Notes:

• You can add coconut while serving too. But consume raw coconut in large quantity makes heart burn to few,so we always cook along with idiyappam and while serving we add sugar and have it.
• Use little water to grind the rice , else it takes lot of time to thicken while sauteing .
• If you add more water while grinding, then put the batter into fridge for around 30 mins, the batter will settle at the bottom and you can see the extra water on the top. Remove that water and use it . It helps to thicken the batter quickly.
• If you're making in large quantity , saute the batter batch by batch. It's difficult to stir the batter in large quantity and also you need more arm power.
