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.
