Appam - Traditional Kerala Breakfast


Recipe for Appam 
--------------------


This is my version of making Appams . there are many other ways to prepare like adding grated coconut to the raw rice while grinding, adding cooked rice, adding coconut milk to the batter and so on. My Kerala friends ,please share ur recipes and tips if it is different.
Raw rice -2 cups
Urad dhal- 2-3 tbspn (soak seperately.this is just for softness, u can also add cooked boiled rice instead while grinding)
Sugar - 3 tspns
yeast -1/4 tspn

Soak the rice till it is soft .Grind to a medium loose batter with 2 tspn of sugar. dissolve yeast and 1 tspn sugar to slightly warm water . Add this to the batter and allow it to ferment. If the batter is too thick after fermentation u can add some water to make it loose.
How to make:
--------------------
Heat an Appam pan pour out one laddle of batter. .rotate the pan to get maximum spread . cover and cook till it is done.Enjoy with Chana masala or stew.

( can add poha 2-3 tbspn if required while grinding because some lots of rice available in the market will be very sticky and thick then u can add poha. or else u can avoid)
