Aapam


Ingredients:

  • Raw rice - 1 cup
  • Idli rice - 1 cup
  • Grated coconut - 1 cup
  • Urad dhal - 1/4 cup
  • Vendhayam (Fenugreek) - 1 tbsp
  • Salt

Preparation:

Soak rice, urad dhal, vendhayam for 8 hours (overnight) and grind it into smooth batter along with grated coconut and a handful of cooked rice. Adding cooked rice will give softness to aapam. You may chose to add javarisi (sago) instead of cooked rice.

In an aapam kadai/pan, pour the batter and rotate the kadai in circular motion to make aapams. Tip: The batter should be of watery consistency and should not be thick like that of the one used for making idli/dosa.

Serve hot with coconut chutney/stew.
