    I start this week with a simple everyday breakfast thali from kerala. You know appam, puttu are a staple foods in keralan breakfast meal. They love it so much as I do. I have my mum's aapam recipe in my blog before itself..But I wanted to try the coconut milk aapam which they do..So I did that..Aapam with egg curry taste like heaven along with some simple coconuty vegetable stew make it even more delicious..My mouth is watering when I write this..The meal was a complete hit.

    Ok now this simple breakfast thali has
    Nadan Egg Curry

    Kerala Style Vegetable Stew

    Other Variations:

    Amma's Aapam

    Potato Stew

    Amma's Potato curry

     

    Pin

     


    This Aapam is so good. They turned out so soft, I mean so soft and porous. Dipping them in that spicy egg curry was so good. If you want something mild you can make that vegetable stew. I made this for breakfast last Sunday. I hope you too will love it and let me know what you think.

      That is a simple and delicious everyday thali.. I never tasted appam but it looks like rice flour dosa.. It might have tasted good with the egg curry

      Nice. You could have added coconut milk mixed with sugar too, though we actually dont serve it at home, its usually kadala curry or payaru curry or stew that is made with aappam.
