Simple Breakfast Thali from Kerala
When Valli announced Thali Mela..I was quite excited to do that, because in our house we almost eat thali meal. Somedays it will be simple everyday thali and some day it may be a huge traditional thali. I am planning to post quite a few thali through out this week..Starting from some basic everyday thali from different places to a festive thali which we prepare often in our house.

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 mush 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
Coconut Milk Aapam
Nadan Egg Curry (I will post very soon)
Kerala Style Vegetable Stew
Other Variations:
Amma’s Aapam
Creamy Egg Curry
Potato Stew
Amma’s Potato curry

This Aapam is so good..They turned out so soft, I mean soooooo 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.
