    Appam Recipe | Appam without yeast | Palappam Recipe with step by step photos .Amma always makes the best appam. I learned this recipe from here. Appam goes very well with chicken curry and coconut milk but my pick is always chicken curry with appam. During my childhood days I use to like that crispy outer edges of Appam and I used to eat only that and pass on the reaming to amma. However when I started cooking I learnt to eat the full appam. Now lets see how to prepare Kerala Appam.

      Seriously i miss this appam here, all coz of my induction stove. Without yeast, this appam looks porous and very soft. Love simply with sweetened coconut milk.

      Soft, fluffy and lacy looking appam. You have made them so perfectly. I can't help but smile reading about you eating the crispy edges when you were little -- my daughter is a little like that too, I end up with the middle part.

      Same pinch Sharmila. Even I used to like only the crispy part of the appam and my mom used to make the whole appam crispy. But now I do appreciate the fluffy middle portion too. And my fav is with sweet coconut milk. You appam looks absolutely yum. Love to pick it off screen..

      Adding banana is a great idea. No yeast appam sounds delicious and I bet you would have enjoyed with chicken curry as you said. I love entire appam so never worried about crispy part. 😉

      No dear the banana added will be very mild not sweet and it helps in getting soft appam.

      Appam is a mandatory breakfast twice a month. We always make it with fermented coconut water and never with coconut or banana.will surely have to try it sometime.

      I wish to make appam since forever but looking at my skill towards south indian dishes, I don't attempt to try. This looks so soft and tasty with stew.
