Appam is one of A's favorites. So that was among the first few dishes I tried making when we were newly weds <3. And thanks to Divya of Easy Cooking for this easy and "made from scratch" recipe which comes out looking beautifully lacy and tasting delicious. A loves it, so do I. Here comes the recipe as it is...
Ingredients
- Raw rice – 1 C
- Cooked rice – ½ C
- Grated coconut – ½ C
- Salt to taste
- Baking powder – 1 t
- Sugar – 1 T
- Eno Fruit salt – 1 sachet
Method
- Soak the raw rice for 4-6 hours.
- Grind to a smooth batter adding the cooked rice and grated coconut and enough water.
- Add the baking powder and salt.
- Mix well and keep it covered for 8-10 hours.[I keep it overnight]
- Next morning add sugar and mix well,add more water if the batter is too thick-it has to be of pouring consistency.
- Just before you start making the appam,add eno fruit salt to the batter.
- The batter will froth up instantly,mix gently.
- Heat a non stick appa chatti[appam pan] or any non stick kadai.
- Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan when it is hot and swirl the pan in a clockwise motion spreading the batter to the sides of the pan.
- Swirling the pan gives the appam the customary pretty lace edges and a spongy centre.
- Close the lid and cook on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes.
- Place the appam into a plate and serve hot with Stew, kadala curry or any non-vegetarian curry.
yum yum yum yum.....love it :)

DeleteI have always meaning to make these Appams at home, never really got them right ! I guess you do need that perfect shaped vessel to achieve the perfect consistency
ReplyDeleteFirst time on your blog, very fresh look and good recipes. Glad to follow you, stay in touch : )
Hey Nupur.. We can make Appams in a flat pan too but the traditional one is made in this shape which requires the vessel meant for it called the Appam chatty.. check that out here : http://www.esuppliersindia.com/millenium-exports/appachatti-with-lid-pr286640-sCATALOG-swf.html

Hello Gopika,
ReplyDeleteThe appams are my favorite and love them so much. I ahd them last time at Delhi haat while visiting India. Superb preparations.
Thanks yo so much for the words of appreciation at my blog. I hope you will give it a try and like it too. For garam masala, take handful or measurement in equal quantity eg 1/2 cup of each ingredient. Even if you are running short on few, its okay and can add as per your convenience. The guts works best in the kitchen. Hope it helps. Take care! Sonia
