My husband is extremely fond of appam with stew, especially the one available in Koshy’s in Bangalore. I decided to learn the same and realised that it is one of the easiest dishes to make. All you need is a well fermented batter and an appam pan.
Ingredients
2 Cups of parboiled rice
One handful of Beaten rice/ Poha
1 Tsp of Methi Seeds
½ Cup of grated coconut
1 Tsp of Yeast
1 tsp of Sugar
60 ml warm water
Salt to taste
Soak 2 cups of parboiled rice with a handful of poha/Beaten rice and a TSP of methi for 5 hours. Grind this along with ½ cup grated coconut into a smooth paste. Now activate 1 TSP of yeast by adding 60 ml warm water and a TSP of sugar. Add the activated yeast to the batter with salt to taste and ferment for 8 hours. Once fermented the appams are ready to be made. Add a ladle full of appam batter and rotate the appam pan making a circle. Cover and cook till the middle portion gets cooked and the sides become crisp. Remove and serve hot with Vegetable or Mutton Stew.
