Aappam

Aappam is a bowl shaped thin pan cakes made from

fermented rice flour..They derive their shapes from

the small skillet known as Appachatti . Sou WIki.

Paati used to make both Vellai appam and Karupatti(Palm jaggery)

appam .

Ingredients

Raw rice - 1 cup

Parboiled rice - 1 cup

Methi seeds - 1/4 tsp

Urad dal - 1 tblsp

Cooked rice - 3 tblsp

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Coconut milk - 1/2 cup

Baking soda - 1/2 tsp

Method

• Soak both rice with urad dal and methi seeds for 3 hrs.
• Grind it to a nice batter . Add cooked rice and salt in the middle of grinding.
• Leave the batter in the warm place for 8 - 10 hrs.
• Add coconut milk and baking soda to the batter and mix well.
• Heat Appachatti in the stove.When it is hot take a ladle full of batter and pour into the center .

• Swirl the pan around so that the appam spreads evenly around the pan.

• Close it with lid for 1 min.
• Appam should not be crispy . So remove from the pan immediately.
• Serve with stew or kurma.I like to eat with coconut milk and sugar.
