Ingredients needed

Raw rice – 1 cup
Par boiled rice – 1 cup
Fenugreek seeds – 1 tsp
Urad dal – 2 1/2 tbsp (whole urad dal without skin)
Coconut milk -3 tbsp
Cooking soda or appam soda – 1/2 tsp
Appam pan (also called appa chatti)

Appam preparation

Soak raw rice, par boiled rice, fenugreek seeds and urad dal for 10-12 hours.(I soaked it from morning 6 to evening 6 pm, then ground it and fermented it overnight)

After 10 hours, grind it to a fine paste. Add salt and mix it well with your hands. You can use lukewarm water to grind but it is optional. The batter should be of thinner consistency than dosa batter.

Store it in an airtight container, leave it for another 10 hours or overnight to ferment. In the morning the appam batter would have raised nicely.

Before making appams, add coconut milk, appam soda and mix well. If the batter is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding water. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes- appam batter can be used to make soft appams.

Traditionally appams are made in iron skillet called appa chatti. I have used the Prestige non stick appam pan. If you do not have appa chatti or appam pan, you can make it in any other non stick pan with lid.

First coat the appam pan with oil using a cloth. (Add a drop of oil into the pan and wipe it all over with a cloth.)

Heat the appam pan, then reduce the heat to low. Now add a ladle of batter in the center of the pan.(pan should be hot but not too hot)

Holding both the handles of the pan, rotate the pan in such a way that the batter spreads all around in a circle. The remaining batter will come to the center (that is why the appam is thick in the center and lacy on the outside)

After that close the pan with the lid. The flame should be kept in low. Once the appam is cooked and the edges start turning brown, remove the appam from the pan. (the appam will come off easily if you lift it with your hands)

Serve appam hot from the pan with sweetened coconut milk or any coconut based dishes.
