    Recipe for Appam

    Hello
    i'm new to the group.i'm impressed with the regional recipes that've been explained in a simple way.I would like a fool proof recipe for making deliciuos Kerala appams.My aunt in Calicut used to make them.Till date i have tried so many times and the result is not consistent.:oops:
    I'd appreciate if u could also write a side dish to accompany appam.(like Ishtu or Chicken curry).
    Thanks
    Jayasudha:wave

    Doubts...

    Seetha Madam,
    I have few doubts:
    1. When you mention as 1 cup in the recipie measurement, what is the cup size?Is one cup equivalent to a steel glass?
    2. Is narthangai same as lemon?
    Please clearify..
    Luv,
    Jaya

    Dear jeya
    Our tea cup.You can measure it in your house steel glass.Glasses are various size.You fix your glass measurement.
    The narthangai is not available in Kerala.So it is called Pandinarangai.It has medicinal value.Some times some street venders from tamil nad will sell it.In all brahmin house we use narthangai.The narthangai achar is available in palghat easily.
