EASY APPAM WITHOUT COCONUT



I never knew appam can be made without coconut and the boring process of “kappi kachal”. When my friend Rose mary shared this recipe I wanted to give it a try and to my surprise it turned out beautifully. Thank you dear for this super recipe.

Ingredients
1.      Raw rice(pachari)-2glass
2.      Urad dal-1tbsp
3.      Potato-half of 1 medium sized (cubed)
4.      Cooked rice-1 hand full or aval(rice flakes) soaked in water for 30 minutes
5.      Sugar-2tbsp
6.      Yeast-1/2tsp
7.      Water
8.      Salt

Method of preparation
1.      Wash rice and urad dal three times. Soak both together  for 3-4 hours.
2.      Grind all the ingredients except salt, in to a smooth batter by adding enough water. Keep it over night  for fermentation.
3.      When it is fermented, add salt and mix well. Heat a appachatty.Pour a ladle full of batter. Gently swirl the pan in order to spread the batter. Close with a lid. Let it cook in medium flame. When it is cooked the sides will get detached from the pan easily. Serve hot with stew ,kadala curry ..

    I was sure that the caterers for our baptism parties did not use coconut in their appam and I was searching for such a recipe. Most we're just modified Dosas. But when I got married in 1978, someone gave me a recipe book with a similar recipe and I had always wanted to try it but didn't because I could not take a chance with breakfast rush.
    Now I am retired and have all the time in the world. I will try and let you know.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I tried it and got a little confused with the measurements. Still it came out well. But it tasted like pathiri as the coconut taste is missing. Adding coconut milk powder may add to the flavour.

      hi,
      thanks for ur interest in trying out my recipe.is that measurement confusing?let me know if anything in that recipe is not clear.i must admit that appam with coconut tastes always best :). you can even add some cow's milk instead of coconut milk.

    i am attracted by the recipe, but one doubt. I plan to add cow's milk in it. when shall i add it. soon after grinding the batter? or the next day half an hour before making appams?

      dear lissie,
      thanks for visiting my blog. to be very honest i never have added cows milk in appam.but i know many people makes appam with cows milk.add it once the batter is fermented that is as u said on the next day.but one thing you should be really careful about the consistency of the batter.so add water accordingly while grinding.or else batter may get thin while adding milk on the next day.hope this helps .Happy cooking :)

    Rani, i tried the recipe yesterday without any milk. It fermented so good that i made appams yesterday itself(It took only 3 hours for the batter to rise three times in volume). And the appams, they were super soft.
    thankyou for this supernice recipe
