Appam recipe | Appam  | Appam recipe without yeast | Appam without coconut | appam without Eno | Kerala appam recipe is a traditional  South Indian breakfast recipe. tasty guilt-free soft Appam recipe.

Aappam is one of my favorite breakfast items. During our childhood days, Amma used to do Appam in a regular Iron skillet. That time she didn't have Aappam pan in our home. Since we love it Amma got Appam pan and used to make Appa at least once in 2 weeks.

Can I grind Appam batter in a mixie?

Yes, you can grind the batter in a mixie or grinder make sure you give regular in-between grinding. Avoid adding much water while grinding.

Can I skip baking soda?

Baking soda gives a soft texture to the Aappam recipe. You can use Eno, instead of baking soda. Always use fresh baking soda. A batter with fresh baking soda will get bubbles. 

Best side dish for Appam

Appam tastes yummy with  Vegetable stew and Sodhi is a tasty side. Coconut chutney, tomato onion thokku, kadala curry, kurma are my other favorite side dishes.

can I use coconut for the Aappam recipe?

coconut Appam is yet another tasty Aappam variety prepared with coconut. If you want to add extra coconut flavor  use coconut water while grinding

Ingredients:

To soak:

Raw rice - 1 cup

fenugreek seeds - ½ tsp

urad Dal - 3 tbsp

Poha - ¼ cup

salt - as needed

Before making Appam :

Cooking soda - 1 tsp

Sugar - 1 tsp

How to make Appam with step-by-step pictures:

  • Wash and soak  all the ingredients except salt For at least 5 hours 

 

  • Add the required water and grind the batter in a mixie/ grinder

  • After the batter is ground add salt and grind once

  • Mix the batter well with your hands and leave it  overnight to ferment

  • 15 minutes before making Appam mix the batter well in a ladle and add extra water to make a thin batter (thinner than dosa batter consistency)

  • Furthermore, add sugar and baking soda and mix well. Use fresh baking soda (you should see bubbles after adding baking soda )

  • Turn on the stove and keep the appam pan on low heat. After the pan is slightly hot, grease the pan with little oil (Spread oil all over the pan using a cloth or brush)
  • Add a ladle full of batter and hold the handle of the pan and rotate the pan in such a way that the batter spreads all around in a circle (This is the traditional way, instead, you can spread the batter with the ladle, and because of the pan texture, the remaining batter will come in the center or make flower appam). After that close the pan with the lid and cook

 

  •  Once the Aappam is cooked with pores all around and the edges start turning brown, remove the Appam from the pan. Do not flip the side
