ingredients
directions
- Clean the rice and wash it well.
- Soak it for 4 hours in water.
- Then put 1 1/2 cups of water in a thick-bottomed pan.
- Add semolina to it and stir well to ensure that no lumps are formed.
- An easy way to do this is to use your electric blender and blend the water-semolina mixture well before you proceed any further with the recipe.
- Cook the semolina-water mixture for 5 minutes or until the semolina is soft and cooked.
- Allow to cool.
- Grind the soaked rice alongwith the cooked semolina mixture in a mixer.
- If need be, you may add a little water.
- Grind this mixture until it resembles the consistency of dosa batter.
- Add the dry yeast and grind again.
- Allow the batter to ferment overnight.
- Add salt and sugar the following morning and mix well.
- Now, put on your favourite chef apron start making the appams.
- Heat a non-stick griddle{tava} on medium-high flame.
- Pour in a large spoonful of the prepared batter and rotate the tava so that you have a thin layer of batter spread out all around and just a little more in the center{more in the center and less on the sides, but spread out all throughout}.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid.
- Allow the appam to cook for a few minutes on low flame.
- When done, the appam will have a soft raised area in the middle with a lacy area all around.
- Likewise, repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with vegetable stew or chicken stew or with sambar and chutney{my way!
- }.
- Enjoy!
