Recipe Source: My Cooking Journey
Preparation time: about 8 hours
Cooking time: about 40 minutes
Difficulty level: easy
Ingredients:
Preparation time: about 8 hours
Cooking time: about 40 minutes
Difficulty level: easy
Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups raw rice (I used
sona masoori) - 1 cup grated coconut
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 tsp yeast
- 4 tsp sugar
- Salt to taste
Method:
- Soak the rice for about 4-5
hours or overnight. - Drain the soaked rice and
grind it well adding the coconut and the cooked rice along with it. - Grind it to a smooth batter.
The batter should neither be too thick or too thin. - In a bowl dissolve the yeast
in about ½ cup of tepid water and 1 tsp of sugar. - Let the yeast dissolve for about 10 minutes and
then mix it well to avoid any lumps. - Add the dissolved yeast,
sugar and salt to the batter and mix it well. - Keep it covered to ferment
for about 3-5 hours. - Once the batter is ready
gently mix it. - Heat the Appam pan (I used a kadhai/wok)
and if needed grease it slightly. If it is a non stick pan, you will not need
to grease it. - Pour a ladle full of batter
in the center of the pan and then holding the handles of the pan, swirl the pan
around to spread the batter. - Cover the lid on the pan and
let the Appam cook in low heat for about 2-3 minutes. - Once the bottom of the Appam
is crispy and the top looks cooked remove it and keep it warm. - Repeat the same with the rest
of the batter. - Serve it right away with a
spicy curry or stew.
