ABOUT Whole Wheat Hoppers (Gothambu Palappam) RECIPE

Appam is a traditional Kerala breakfast. It is generally made with white rice as the main ingredient. Here I have used whole wheat flour for making the appams. They are easy to make and tastes good.

Instructions

To prepare batter:
Prepare coconut milk by adding coconut milk powder to the warm water, stir gently to form a lump free mixture.
Blend together wheat flour and coconut milk in a blender for few seconds until smooth. Add 1 table spoon sugar, yeast and continue to blend for few seconds. The batter should be free of lumps.
Transfer to a wide bowl and mix well with a ladle.
Allow the batter to ferment at room temperature for at least 3 hours. Add the remaining sugar and salt to the fermented batter.
Check for the batter consistency. It should be neither too thick nor too thin. The batter should be slightly runny. You must add sufficient water at this stage to get the right consistency.
To make appams:
Heat a nonstick appam pan over medium heat. Pour a ladle full of batter to the pan, lift the pan from the stove top and swirl around once slowly to spread the batter thinly on the sides and thickly at the centre.
Close the pan with the lid and wait for 2 minutes. Lift the lid and check whether the appam is ready. It is ready to take out when the sides are crisp with brown lace like texture and the centre is soft.
Remove gently with a thin spatula and transfer to a rectangular serving tray or wide round plate.
Repeat the same process with the remaining batter. Transfer each appam to the tray or plate and do not pile them up until they are cool. They may stick to each other while stacking when they are warm.
Serve with spicy egg roast or fish moli.
