Idiyappam, also known as string hopper, indiappa, noolputtu, noolappam, or ottu shavige, is a string hopper dish originating from southern India. It consists of rice flour pressed into noodles, laid into a flat disc-like shape and steamed. The dish also spread to Southeast Asia, where it is called putu mayam in Malaysia and Singapore, and putu mayang in Indonesia.

Sevai, shavige, saemia and santhakai is a type of rice vermicelli dish popular in India. While typically made from rice, varieties made out of other food grains like wheat, ragi, and others can also be found.
