I wanted to make this recipe for a long time. Finally i made it few days back. This particular recipe is super easy to make since it used rice flour. I made this less sweet and served it with chicken curry. But you can add more sugar and serve it as a snack.
If you are hearing about this recipe for the first time. This is similar to our aapam. But it is steamed in a pan which is round so it is called as vattayappam. It is served with any spicy curries like chicken curry, mutton curry or even beef.
You can serve appam with Egg Korma or Egg Pulusu or any spicy gravy. But the best combo is with Amma’s Varutharacha Urulai Kilangu Korma..

Thanks again for wonderful recipe. I don’t have yeast what can be alternative for that can we naturally ferment it.
Also can we use desicated coconut?
You can use baking soda instead of yeast. Just leave the batter for 6 to 8 hours. yes u can use dessicated coconut
