Appam

Ingredients

Raw rice - 1 cup

Idly rice – 1 cup
Urud dal – 4 tblsp
Fenugreek seed – ¼ tsp
Salt and water

Preparation

1. Except salt soak all ingredients in water for 2 to 3 hrs and grind them to very smooth batter.

2. Make the batter ferment overnight (8 to 10 hrs).

3. Heat kadai or Appam pan and grease with oil. Pour a ladle full of batter and rotate the pan so that it spreads over. Close the lid and cook in medium flame for few min( say 2 to 5 min).

4. Serve with coconut milk or spicy gravy of your choice.

Note

1.You can add 2 tblsp cooked rice while grinding as it gives a very soft texture for appam.

2.Grease appam pan with oil for first one alone. Rest should come out well without oil.

3.The batter should be bit thin than dosa batter so it spread easily on pan.
