APPAM WITH YEAST

Ingredients:
Rice - 600 gms
Milk of coconuts - 2
Yeast - 50 mg
Salt to taste

Method:

• Soak the rice for 4 hours. Wash the rice thoroughly and grind it to make thin batter by adding sufficient water.
• Take 150 gms of batter and heat it in a kadai in low flame till it becomes thick.
• Now add this to thin batter along with yeast. Stir well.
• Keep the batter overnight for fermentation.
• Before making appam, add coconut milk and salt and stir well.
• Now take appam kadai (i.e., special kadai for making appam).
•  Now pour large ladle full of batter  and tilt the pan so the batter spread inside the pan.
• Apply little oil and cook in medium flame. Close the lid and cook for 2 minutes.
• Remove the lid and take out the appam slowly, using a thin steel knife to get soft and fluffy appam.
• Serve hot with stew.
