Dreamy Appams

Soft appams with a lacy crust soaked in sweet coconut milk are the stuff of my memories. Amma used to make these on special occasions and the three of us used to eat to our heart's content.
The recipe serves 10 and you can make 30 medium appams.




Ingredients:

Raw Rice 1/2 Kg
Coconut 1 grated
Yeast 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Sugar 3 tsp
Cooked Rice 1/2 cup

Method:

1. Soak rice for 4 hrs and drain it.Grind this with grated coconut, cooked rice in a mixie.
2. Put yeast, salt, sugar in boiled water and keep it 1/2 an hr. Then add this to the grinded mixture.
   
3. Keep the mixture for 8 hrs for fermentation.
4. When it is ready to use spread the mixture in a non-sticky pan . See that the mixture is spread so that the edge of the appam will be lace structured.
   
5. Close the pan with the lid and heat it for 2 mts. In the preparation of appam it is only required to cook on one side. Serve hot with potato curry
