    Appam Recipe

    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 palappam. Now lets see how to prepare Kerala Appam.

    How to Prepare Appam

    1.    Wash the rice really well and soak it for 4 hours. Next in a blender add in the freshly grated coconut, banana and cooked rice and grind it to a fine puree .Transfer them to a vessel.

    Tips & Variations

    Serve hot with any stew or kadala curry·

    Also goes well with coconut milk.

    Adding banana and cooked rice makes the palappam spongy. You can skip if you don’t prefer.

    We can also add a egg to the appam if you prefer.

      Appams look super, Sharmila. Your banana version is new to me and I have bookmarked it to try later.

      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.
