Appam - A traditional Kerala dish

Ingredients :

1 cup Raw Rice
1 cup thick flattened rice (Poha)
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
Salt to taste
Appam pan 

Method :

Soak rice and fenugreek seeds for 4-5 hrs.

Grind rice and fenugreek seeds to a fine paste. Wash the poha and drain it. Keep aside for 15 mins. Add this to a ground paste and grind it. Add salt.

Mix well by adding warm water to a thin consistency like dosa batter. Allow it to ferment overnite or more than 10 hrs.

Next day the batter would have raised nicely.

First coat the Appam pan with oil using a cloth. Heat the pan and then reduce to a low heat. Now add a laddle of batter in the center of the pan and rotate the pan in such a way that batter spread all around in a circle. Cover it with a lid for 10-15 mins. Once the appam is cooked, the edges will start turning brown. 

Remove the appam from the pan and Serve hot.
