-APPAM'S-


Well,its almost a month since i posted something here.should confess,I WAS LAZY TO TO THE CORE..or ELSE i was moodless to cook.here also ,(in this post )u can see its reflection...shadowed in laziness,i din take the strain to cook a curry to accompany appam's.This so called APPAM,(I dont know for sure how many of you r familiar with this name) is an all time served dish in most of the traditional christian families during any kind of celebrations.B it x'mas ,Easter,or a regular getto's .lemme get it for you...

Raw rice(PACHARI):2 cups
Tender coconut:1
Cooked rice:5 to 6 tbsps
yeast
salt n sugar(accordingly)
to begin with wash the rice properly n soak it in water for atleast 2 hours.its always good to use fresh coconuts for this.Dont worry if its hard for you to get tender ones.grind together all the ingredients except the last 2 ones.make sure the batter's grinded to paste with no lumps.now the yeast part,i always use imported ones,( no local hasbrand worked the way they do for me till now)mix a few yeast granules in light lukewarm water and keep aside for 30 minutes.and its ready to go to batter.add salt n sugar accordingly.now its time to keep it for fermentation.might take from 6 to 7 hours

THIS IS THE RESULT OF IT...NOW THE "APPA CHATTY"


THIS IS THE APPACHATTY I USED.NOW ADD 2 SPOONFULL OF BATTER TO THIS VESSEL N SPREAD IT IN A CIRCULAR MOVEMENT BY HOLDING ITS HANDLE,WITH YOUR HANDS..DONT USE SPOON AS U DO FOR DOSAS.COVER IT WITH ITS LID N WAIT TO GET IT COOKED.ITS ALMOST DONE WHEN ITS SIDES STARTS BROWNING N DON'T FLIP IT.This goes well with stews n as i began i was lazy to go for it..so winded up the dish with a bottle of Honey..
