APPAM RECIPE

Appam with sweet coconut milk is my son’s all time favorite dish. There is no addition of yeast in this Appam recipe. The appam batter ferments naturally. Here is how to do traditional style appam mavu or appam batter. I like to use idly rice for making appam batter. If you cannot get idly rice, you can use raw rice

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients for batter

COOKING STEPS

For the batter

1. Wash the rice well for 2-3 times in running water. Then soak the rice and urad dal in water for two hours.
2. Drain the water from the rice. Grind all the ingredients in the blender together to make a smooth fine paste. We soaked 2 cups of rice. So while grinding, you can use up-to 2 cups of water.
3. Cover the batter bowl with a lid and leave it in a warm place. Leave it untouched for at least 6-7 hours. After the rest, the batter would have doubled. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and use when required.
   • For making appm
     • Transfer some of the batter to a separate bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine.
     • Heat appam kadai or appa chatti until hot. Ladle some batter into the kadai in the middle. Slowly rotate the pan to make the batter adhere to all over the sides of the pan. Use your hands to rotate in a circular motion and guide the batter to stick to all over the sides.
     • Cover with a lid and let it cook for 40-50 seconds. Appam cooks only on one side. Appam is done when the sides are brown. Remove the appam slowly with the help of a spatula.
     • Serve hot.

• Veg side dishes: Green peas masala, Veg Stew, Kadala curry

Notes

• If you are living in a cold place during peak winter times, keep your batter inside an oven for the proper fermentation process.
