Appams image

These are leavened rice pancakes. Wonderful to the extreme.They are traditionally prepared by using the milk freshly extracted from coconuts and toddy. My ex-neighbour (Sagar Aunty) gave me this much more simplified version without compromising on taste and I am forever indebted to her for it.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 17h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 glasses rice
1/2 medium coconut
1 cup cooked rice
1 glass milk
2 -3 teaspoons sugar
salt
1 pinch baking soda or 1/4 teaspoon dry active yeast

Steps:

  • Soak the raw rice in water for around 3-4 hours.
  • Scrape the coconut.
  • Grind the rice with the coconut and the cooked rice till very fine.
  • Keep it overnight or for 8 hours (not refrigerated) Early next morning (three hours before making the appams) add 1 glass of boiling hot milk to the batter and the sugar, salt and yeast/cooking soda (I prefer the yeast) Mix well (add more milk if required to get the consitency of pourable batter) Cover and keep aside for 3 hours.
  • Now heat a non stick wok.
  • (kadhai) Pour a ladle full of the batter into the wok and swirl the wok around so that the batter spreads around 6-8 inches in diameter.
  • Cover and cook on medium heat till the lower part of the appam is light brown or the top part is not moist but spongy.
  • The sides will seem lacey and the centre will be thick like an idli.
  • This dish can be served with coconut milk and powdered cardamom sweetened with jaggery and sugar or with chicken or mutton stew (Indian style with coconut milk) ANd yes do try it with maple syrup or as it is (as my son enjoys it).

Can I make these appams ahead of time and reheat them later?

I'm allergic to coconut milk. Is there a substitute I can use?

This recipe is missing some important ingredients. It doesn't include any coconut milk or sugar.

I tried this recipe but my appams didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These appams were a little bit too sour for my taste, but other than that they were good.

I'm not usually a fan of appams, but these were really good. The coconut milk gave them a nice flavor.

I've made appams before, but this recipe was by far the best. The batter was easy to make and the appams cooked evenly. Definitely a keeper!
