- Idiyappam Press: Use a good quality idiyappam press for consistent shaping.
- Steaming: Steam the idiyappam for the recommended time to ensure it is cooked through.

Step-by-Step Recipe Using Special Idiyappam Podi (300 words):
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, take the required amount of KK Special Idiyappam Podi. Add salt to taste. Gradually pour boiling hot water into the flour while mixing with a spoon or spatula. Continue adding water until the dough comes together and forms a soft, pliable mass.
- Knead the Dough: Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead it well with your hands until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is crucial for achieving soft idiyappam.
- Shape the Idiyappam: Grease the idiyappam press and the idli plates or banana leaves. Fill the press with the dough and press it onto the plates or leaves in circular motions, forming thin strands.
- Steam the Idiyappam: Place the idli plates or banana leaves in a steamer. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the idiyappam is cooked through. The idiyappam should be soft and slightly translucent when done.
- Serve Hot: Remove the idiyappam from the steamer and serve hot with your favorite curry or side dish.
