aappam new method [suitable for 'maddikkaral' There are so many methods to prepare Aappam. We can add cooked rice or cooked kanji with the aappa batter. But older generation[adopting maddi or vattru] did not want to add rice or kanji to use next day as this is called 'pazhayathu'. To suit older generation this method of aappam preparation is best. Raw rice 1 cup boiled rice 1 cup urud dhal 1/5 th cup fenugreek 1 tsp beaten rice[aval] 2 table spoon Rinse all these items and soak four or five hours. grind smooth paste with salt like dosa batter.keep it whole night.Morning you can add thick coconut milk or coconut paste with the batter.The batter may be more loose than dosa batter.Make aappam in appa chatti.Or you can make thick appam in dosa kall cover it with lit.Top will be soft and bottom like dosa.It should not be turned other side.when we cover the appam top portion also cooked well and soft. You can eat this with any curry,stew or even,sambar cutney,chammanthi etc tsseethalakshmi
