Leftover rice ottu shavige or Idiyappam recipe explained with step by step pictures and video. This ottu shavige or akki shavige is prepared using cooked rice, rice flour, salt and water. Ottu shavige or akki shavige is a breakfast recipe and is popular by different names like semettu, shamige, shyavige, idiyappam and nool puttu. This ottu shavige is a very easy to prepare in very less time.
In Karnataka, authentic ottu shavige or akki shavige is prepared by grinding the soaked rice. The rice batter is half cooked, dumplings are steamed and then finally pressed using the noodles mould (shavige mane). The ottu shavige recipe, which I have explained here is prepared using cooked rice and rice flour. Here the dough is pressed first and then steamed.
These ottu shavige or akki shavige are best served with either chitranna bajji (a sweet chutney) or coconut chutney or tempered like chitranna. However you can serve this with any chutney or curry of your choice.
I have posted few steamed recipes like kayi kadubu, kara kadubu, seke undlaka, unde kadubu and eeradye (arishina ele gatti). Do check them as well.

Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 12 min
Serves: 2
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup rice flour (little more or less depending on dough consistency)
- 1/4 cup water (litle more or less depending on cooked rice)
- 1 tsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp salt (or as per your taste)
Instructions for making ottu shavige:
- Take the cooked rice in a mixie jar.
- Grind it into a fine and thick paste by adding required water.
- Transfer it into a mixing bowl. Add the salt as per your taste.
- Add the rice flour little by little and knead a soft and sticky dough.
- The dough should be sticky-soft but stiff. I have used little more than half cup of rice flour. The shavige turns harder if the dough is not soft.
- Make long cylindrical shaped dumplings by applying little oil.
- Now take the shavige press or noodles mould and press the dumplings over a greased idli plate.
- Steam cook it for 10 minutes.
- Serve it with any chutney or curry of your choice.
