Appam

There are different ways that we can make Appam.Back home in India we add coconut water and grated coconut to make Appam,but living in Switzerland where getting fresh coconut is a dream,i have learnt ways of making Appam tasting the same as the ones in India.
So here goes the recipe...

Basmati Rice= 2 cups
Par boiled Rice= 1 cup
Sugar= 1 tbsp
Granulated Yeast= 1/2 tsp

Soak both the rice together for about 4 to 5 hrs
Add yeast and sugar into 1 cup of warm water and leave it for atleast half an hour
Grind the rice into a smooth paste and also add the yeast and sugar solution into it while grinding
Leave the batter for fermenting overnight

To make the Appam






Appam Chatti

To the fermented batter add a little salt and mix thorughly
Heat the Appam Chatti ( pot )
Pour a ladleful of batter and turn the pot in a clockwise direction to spread the batter
Cover with the lid,reduce the heat
Once cooked remove the appam and serve hot with any meat fry/curry or vegetable curry of your choice.



While using the Appam chatti,there is no need to smear oil on it before pouring the batter.
