Appam Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cup raw rice
4  cup coconut shaving
1  cup cooked rice
Pinch of yeast
Sugar to taste
Salt

Preparation:

1. Grind the soaked rice along with the coconut shavings and cooked rice to a fine thick paste. Do not add too much water. 
2. Add the yeast and mix lightly. Add the salt and sugar to taste. Allow to ferment at room temperature for at least 6 hours. 
3. Heat a small non-stick wok. Pour approximately half a cup of batter and quickly swirl the pan around such that only a thin layer of the batter covers the sides and a thick layer collects at the bottom. 
4. Cover with a lid and cook the appam on medium heat or till the edges have become golden crisp and the centre is soft and spongy.
