Appam

Instructions

1. Soak the rice in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the rice and blend it with grated coconut and water to a smooth batter.
3. Add yeast, sugar, and salt to the batter, mix well, and let it ferment for about 8 hours or overnight.
4. Once fermented, stir the batter gently. The consistency should be pourable.
5. Heat an appam pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and swirl it to spread evenly, leaving the center thicker than the edges.
7. Cover and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is cooked through.
8. Serve hot with coconut milk or vegetable stew.

Tips

• Ensure the batter is well-fermented for soft appams.
• You can adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more water if needed.
