appam recipe-How did you make this

 Appam is a popular South Indian breakfast item that is enjoyed by people across the country. It is a soft and fluffy pancake made from fermented rice batter or coconut butter. The batter is usually left to ferment overnight, which results in a light and airy texture. Here is a recipe for making appam at home:


Ingredients:


1 cup raw rice

½ cup grated coconut

¼ cup cooked rice

1 tsp yeast

1 tbsp sugar

1 cup lukewarm water

½ tsp salt

Instructions:


Soak raw rice in clean water for 3 to 4 hours. Drain the water and grind the rice into a fine paste.


Grind the grated coconut and cooked rice together into a smooth paste. Mix this paste with the rice paste and keep it aside.


In a separate bowl, mix yeast, sugar, and lukewarm water. Stir it well and keep it aside for 5 minutes. The mixture will become frothy.


Add the frothy yeast mixture to the rice-coconut mixture and mix well. Add salt and mix again.


Keep the mixture aside for 8-10 hours or overnight for fermentation. After fermentation, the batter will be light and airy.


Heat an appam pan on medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and swirl it around to coat the edges.


Cover the pan with a lid and cook the appam for 2-3 minutes or until the edges become crispy and the center is cooked.


Serve the appam hot with coconut milk or any curry of your choice.


Tips:


Use lukewarm water for mixing yeast to help it activate faster.


You can also add a pinch of baking soda to the batter before cooking to help the appam rise better.


If you do not have an appam pan, you can use a regular non-stick pan. However, make sure to coat it with oil or butter before pouring the batter.


If you are in a hurry, you can also use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast. However, make sure to adjust the quantity accordingly.


If you do not have grated coconut, you can also use coconut milk instead. However, reduce the quantity of water accordingly.


Do not overmix the batter after adding the yeast. This can cause the batter to become dense and heavy.


The consistency of the batter should be slightly thick and pouring consistency.


If you want to make appam sweeter, you can add more sugar to the batter.


Conclusion:


Appam is a delicious and nutritious breakfast item that is easy to make at home. With this simple recipe, you can make soft and fluffy appam that can be enjoyed with a variety of curries and chutneys. So, try making appam at home and surprise your family and friends with your culinary skills.
