P rgatitja:
For Breakfast
-Soak the washed rice for 3 to 4 hours. Wash and drain.
-Grind the soaked rice in a blender with just enough water so that the ground material will be
thick
-In the early stages of grinding take out about two table spoon of the partially ground rice and
keep it apart for cooking and later mixing.(This will be called KURUKKU)
-mix seperatly 1 teaspoonful of yeast , quarter cup of luke warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar
and allow the mixture to rise.
-Grind the coconut to a milky emulsion
-Mix your ground rice, 'Kurukku'(cook the partially ground rice saved earlier like a thick
porridge) the yeast mixture and ground coconut
-Allow the mixture to ferment for about 6 hours.
-Add sugar and salt as your taste dictates.You can add a little cocnut milk to adjust the
consistancy.(You can add one beaten up egg at this stage if you fear appams sticking to the pan.-
Alternately you can wrap a half fried egg in cloth and use it to rub the frying area of your pan.)
-Now put the mixture in a warm oven for 2 hours just before you make the Appams
-After it rises DO NOT STIR
Use a cast iron pan and use the same technique that one uses for pancakes.
