Aappam
Raw rice- 1 cup, parboiled rice- 1 cup, black gram- 1/4 cup, salt to taste.
Soak rice & dal overnight. Grind to a thick paste. Add salt to the batter & allow to ferment overnight. The next day add 1/2 cup thin coconut milk , 2 tbsp sugar & 1/4 tsp cooking soda & mix well. Heat the appam pan & pour a ladle full of batter & tilt the pan in a circular motion so that aappam is formed.
