For preparing appam, first grind the soaked rice and soaked aval with required water in a wet grinder/mixie.
When they are ground well, add scraped coconut, salt, some more water into this mix and grind it further for another 5 minutes to make paste in the form of dosa mix.3) When this mix is ready, change it into another vessel. Take one tea-spoon yeast and dissolve it in some hot water and add this yeast water into the already prepared mix.
Keep this mix for about 5-6 hrs in the vessel(if we keep the mix for about 5-6 hrs, the appam will be more smooth and tasty).5)When you want to make appam, add salt to taste into this mix and heat the appachatti(non stick one is preferred). Apply some oil with a clean cloth piece and then put one big spoon of the already prepared mix and spread it well. Let it cook well as we prepare dosa. The appam is ready and can be consumed with vegetable or egg curry.

Myself, Sobha Kesavan, a retired Accountant in a MNC based in Delhi, where I was staying for 26 years. Afterwards, moved to Bangalore and stayed there for about 4 years and then shifted to my native place ( in Thrissur district), Kerala, along with my husband. My two sons and both daughters-in-law are working out of Kerala as Software Engineers.
I have immense passion for gardening and have been doing it since my stay in Delhi and most of
the ingredients (vegetables) used in my recipes are home grown. I am interested in cooking mostly North Indian and South Indian cuisines. The recipes shared in pachakam.com from my end would definitely tickle your taste buds.
I will be always looking forward for your valuable feedbacks or suggestions as there is always room for improvement.
