EASTER APPAM RECIPE


The way i make easter appam is very easy.
Grounded coconut - one cup (fresh coconut.)
Rice flour - one and a half cup
Yeast - 1/2 to 3/4 tea spoon
One cup luke warm water
Sugar - one table spoon
Add yeast in luke warm water and add sugar in that.Mix well and keep it till form/bubbles come.
Mix coconut and rice flour and add this yeast mix in it and mix well.Dont add too much water,add only enough water to make a thick batter.(use luke warm water to mix,this helps fermenting easily).
Keep it in a container and close the lid.Keep it over night.The next day,it should be fermented.
Add enough water to make a batter almost like idly.Not too thick not too thin.Add sugar and powdered cardomom(add as much sugar as you want,this appam tastes better if its sweet,but not too sweet like payasam).I add about 4 table spoons of sugar.Check to make sure if you need more.Add a pinch of salt.
Grease a steel plate.(it should fit inside your idly cooker).Fill about half the plate with batter.Decorate with fried cashews and raisins.Steam cook,for about 20 mintutes.Take it out and let it cool,while it cools cover it lightly with paper towel.Make another one.By the time the second one is done,the first one would be cooled enough to take out from the plate and ready to eat:)
