Appam

Appam is a popular Kerala breakfast dish. Appam is traditionally served with potato stew. It can also be served with egg curry or potato korma.

3. Grind the soaked rice, coconut and the cooked rice to a fine paste.
4. Add the yeast mixture.
5. Blend again and keep overnight to ferment.
6. Check the consistency of the batter. It should be thinner than dosa batter.
