usually I dont soak the Urad dal.I dry roast this in low flame and grind it not very fine.Then I mix it with the coarsely grind rice.Then I will fry the kunjulli,curry leaves in oil and then mix it with the flour.
Garlic-jeera paste also enhances the flavour.
I was also searching for a recipe for Pesaha Appam. Thanks a lot for posting this recipe. I am going to try it tomorrow. My mother used to blend the appam flour with vellulli instead of kunjulli. I think this will give a different flavor.
Think this one is going to help me out in this Pesaha even though I prefer a garlic smell in it. Anyway thanks a lot….Happy Easter!!
At my home we do not use urad in this recipe For those in US Idly rice is a good option to soak and grind. Baking gives a real good taste and serve with Rava kachi.
hi, Before i cud try the recipe out i`m thanking u for sharing it with us. i was unaware how to make this and thanks to u i do wanna keep up the tradition. In Australia, nobody`s got the time to make them but i wanna retain the memories so will be definitely making it.Do keep up the good work!
regards, priscilla.
I am yet to try this before I can rate this recipe. However thankyou very much for posting it on the site. I wasnt aware of this practice till my marriage. This year I have decided to prepare appam and have this at home. It is indeed nice of you to share the same with all of us.
here in america no one has time to make this sacred appam and paal. next year im going to do it for all our families here.thanx a million. come with more recipes,
thanks for the recipe of the sauce…. back in india we call this pesaha paal. I love this…. brings back old memories. I think this paal is made in only some parts of kerala. Most people make only the appam. Thanks again.
Hi, I used to bake them in the oven, since my family loves the baked version for baking. You need little more water as in a cake batter. Add lots of oil in the bottom and top, cook till it is well done and outsides are crunchy. Do not put fried onions in the top or bottom, since it can get burned in baking. Cut when warm, if you want in shapes. I make this in bulk for our church in mondi-thursday and everybody loves it.
I am so thankful to you on this Maundy thusday. In spur of the moment i decided to do the appam and your recipie was so helpful. Thank you!!!!!!!
