Coconut Appam | Appam | Vellayappam | Appam recipe without yeast | Kerala appam recipe | Paalappam | Thengai appam is a filling South Indian breakfast. Lacy soft appam makes a tasty tiffin. No yeast and no baking soda for this healthy tiffin.

Many versions exist to make this Delicious Kerala breakfast. I have already posted a version with Appam with baking soda. This is yet another  version with coconut. Super soft appam without baking soda.  I am yet to try the yeast version. My neighbor makes it. I will try it soon and post it.

We love Appam in our home and our favorite sides for Appam are

Vella kurma

Vegetable stew

kadala curry

coconut milk

 My aunt is from Kerala and she introduced lots of tatsy Kerala based dishes to my mom.
I have posted some of her special recipes like Thengai Aricha Kuzhambu, Varuthu Aricha Kuzhambu etc in TMF.  Yet to post more recipes 

My son recently started going to school  and thinking of a balanced breakfast and lunch is one of my biggest concerns. In addition to Idli, dosai, Upma I have started including Appam as one of our weekday breakfast. When my sister came here for Diwali she reminded me that it hasn’t been posted into the blog yet.  With a Little one I couldn’t post actively – still trying to keep the momentum instead of giving a big break again.

Usually I make appam in regular shape but my mother-in-law learnt this from her neighbor and she taught me this technique. After seeing flower appam now a days my son asks for car, bus appam🤣 

Thengai appam is so soft. Without worrying about addition of baking soda or yeast these appam can be given to kids.

Notes

  1. Appam tastes best with the fresh batter
  2. Appam can be made i regular round shape
  3. If grinding takes longer time. Grind rice and dal first after it is done, add coconut and grind
  4. For crispy lacy appam use little sugar while making appam

    As a Keralite myself, I have a strong weakness towards fluffy appams. You have nailed the texture and especially without soda or yeast. The recipe from your Aunt is a keeper!
