Your Mum lovingly made string hoppers and frankly she could serve them with what she wanted ! There are few things noodles don't go with and potato masala sounds like a great partner for string hoppers <br /> <br />Phil - mate, good of you to drop by ! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and whilst you may think the kothu is scruffy, I quite like the look of it. It's also worth remembering the conventionally good looking can be shallow and vacuous - a maxim that applies to food as well as people. <br /> <br />WB / LC - this was my 1st time eating string hoppers. The ones I had were made out of rice flour and reminded me of rice vermicelli (mai fen / bee hoon) albeit in a noodle cake form. I don't remember them being particularly mushy on their own or mixed with curry. When part of a kothu, they could be considered mushy but not in a bad way. Frankly, I haven't got a clue on how they should be but I liked the ones I had.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-65923401011372353052010-02-25T00:04:30.604+00:002010-02-25T00:04:30.604+00:00This looks familiar.

Given the large south Indian community there, it's certainly not surprising. <br /><br />Hmm, given the way that it's made, it should taste more... mushy, isn't it?London Chowhttp://londonchow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-72661135413456733152010-02-24T21:33:00.203+00:002010-02-24T21:33:00.203+00:00I don't really eat a lot of Indian food but I ...I don't really eat a lot of Indian food but I think I've tried this before; the string hoppers are quite different from normal Chinese-type noodles and are quite mushy right?
