Aapam







Ingredients:
  1. Parboiled rice - 2 Cups
  2. Raw Rice - 2 cups
  3. Urad dhal - 2 tablespoons
  4. Fenugreek - 1 teaspoon
  5. Salt to taste
Procedure:
  • Soak all ingredients (without salt) together for 2 to 3 hours
  • Wash well before grinding and grind it to a very fine consistency
  • Remove the batter to a vessel
  • Wash the grinder with one cup of water and heat this water to a conjee consistency
  • Cool it and add it to the ground batter with salt (This congee makes it very soft)
  • Allow it to ferment for 8 hours
  • Pour one ladle in the aapam pan and rotate the pan so the batter is spread thin on the edges with a slight bulge in the center
  • Cover it with the lid
  • When it is done in a couple of minutes, remove it
  • Make sure the center is well cooked
This will go well with Coconutchutney( see recipe elsewhere in this blog) and coconut milk
