ABOUT APPAM RECIPE

This is a very popular breakfast dish from Kerala. Traditionally appam batter is fermented with toddy, a local alcohol derived from palm tree. But this is not possible everywhere so a little yeast is used instead. This is usually served with chicken stew or vegetable stew.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Rice ..... 1 cup
Coconut .... 3-4 tbsps (grated)
Coconut milk ... 1/2 cup or more
Salt .... as needed
Sugar .... 1 tsp
Yeast .... 1/2 tsp

Instructions

Soak the rice for 4-5 hours.
Grind them in a mixie along with the other ingredients. Add a little water to grind into a smooth batter.
Remove the batter in a container and set aside for 10 - 12 hours until it ferments. In summer it takes less time but in winters you may have to keep it overnight.
Grease the appam kadai and wipe it with a paper tissue.
Pour some batter with a ladle and turn the appam kadai to spread the batter on the edges of the pan.
The remaining batter settles down in the middle giving a fluffy texture while the edges are thin and crisp.
