Check out the video recipes for the Appam with Idli/dosa batter. If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel.

    WHY LEFTOVER RICE FOR SPONGY APPAM?

    Cooked rice helps for soft and spongy appam. I would highly recommend leftover cold rice at room temperature or from the refrigerator. avoid hot rice

    WHAT KIND OF RICE WORKS FOR KERALA APPAM?

    For the best Kerala-style Appam, add cooked sona masoori rice or cooked raw rice. 

    Tips for mixie grinding

    Adding Rice flour in batches to avoid the mixie jar from turning hot. Use room temperature water. Mix well in between grinding. 

    idli dosa batter

    since we don't ferment the batter for 8 hours idli/ dosa batter is a must. I used thick homemade batter. If your  batter is watery, reduce water accordingly

    whisk well and aerate the batter

    Don't skip this step as it helps for soft and spongy appam. If you do not have an electric beater, use a hand whisk or ladle; mix well

    CAN I REDUCE COCONUT milk?

    coconut milk gives amazing flavor to the lacy Kerala appam. If you are using frozen coconut, thaw them then use them. Always add coconut initially else it won't grind well

    CONSISTENCY OF APPAM BATTER?

    Appam batter is watery (liquid consistency ) compared to dosai/ adai batter. to check if the batter is at the right consistency,  take a little batter at the back side of the ladle, if you wipe the  batter, you should be able to wipe it clean

    BEST SIDE DISH FOR Kerala appam

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

    CAN I REDUCE SUGAR?

    I would recommend the mentioned quantity of sugar as it helps for the perfect appam texture and also balances the baking soda flavor.
