Ingredients (Makes 15 – 20 nos)
1. Idli rice or ponni raw rice – 2 cups (Soak it in water for at least 6 hrs)
2. Cooked rice – 1 cup
3. Thick coconut Milk – 1/2 cup or grated coconut – 3/4 cup
4. Yeast – 1/2 tsp (You can use around 1/2 glass toddy instead of yeast)
Sugar – 1 tbsp
5. Salt – To taste
6. Grated coconut – 1/4 – 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds – 2 pinches
Pearl onion – 1 small
Method
1. Combine 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp yeast in around 3 tbsp luke warm water and keep it aside for 5 -10 mts.
2. Grind the idli rice in a mixie, adding little water if needed. When it is half-ground, add the cooked rice, coconut milk(or grated coconut) and grind everything together to make a very smooth paste. Add more water, if necessary. Transfer it to a large bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, stir well and allow it to ferment for 6 – 8 hrs. Keep in a warm oven with lights on. During summer, it won’t take more than 4 – 5 hrs to ferment.
3. The batter would have fermented to almost double size after 6 – 8 hrs. Take it out.
4. Grind 1/4 – 1/2 cup grated coconut with 1 pearl onion and 1-2 pinches of cumin seeds. Just before preparing the appams, add the crushed coconut-cumin mixture and enough salt to the batter. Mix well. If the batter is very thick you can add either milk or coconut milk.
5. Heat a non-stick pan or tawa. Apply a little oil on the tawa (you do not need to apply oil if you are using a non-stick pan). Pour a small ladle(thavi) full of batter into the tawa. The batter will spread by itself. Flip over to the other side after a minute or two. Cook until it turns light brown. Serve hot with veg kurma/ chicken/meat stew, green peas curry etc. This recipe yields around 15 – 20 kallappams.

Thats duck curry. Heres the recipe http://www.yummyoyummy.com/2012/12/duck-curry.html
I made this appam and it came out well…thank you for the recipe…
Why my appam is bit stcky while eating ?? I used packet grated coconut from shop. Is that the reason??Pls tell me the reason.
Thanks
Packet grated coconut wont be the reason. Did you have the appam while still hot? It is best served warm. Also, they might get sticky if you use more of cooked rice.
