Appam is a type of pancake made with fermented rice batter and coconut milk. It is a traditional dish of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.Appam is also popular in Sri Lanka.
It is served with fresh coconut milk( optional) and vegetable stew or vegetable kurma, making it a wholesome, healthy and perfect for having as a breakfast:)
Ingredients
Raw rice- 1 cup
Idli rice- 1 cup
Whole urad dal ( ullundhu)- 1/2 cup
Fenugreek seeds ( methi/ vendhayam)- 2 tsps
Coconut milk powder- 4 tbsps
Method
Wash and soak both the rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds for 2-3 hrs.
Grind to a smooth batter. Add salt, mix well and let it ferment overnight or 12-15 hours.
Before making the aappam, mix 1 cup of water to the coconut milk powder. Mix well and warm it slightly.
Add it to the aappam batter and mix well.
Heat an aappam pan. Brush it with little oil.
Reduce the flame. Pour little batter. Take the pan off the gas and swirl it swiftly so that the batter coats the pan evenly. It will be slightly thick in the centre. Pour little oil over the aappam, close the pan with a lid and let it cook. Once it’s cooked, remove from the pan. Similarly make aappam with rest of the batter.
Serve hot with spicy stew or kurma.
