Mappilai Samba Rice Aapam Recipe
Mappilai Samba Rice Aapam Recipe with detailed procedure and step by step images.
An aapam recipe comes to you without any yeast or coconut or cooked rice. This style of aapam batter is from our family tradition and I somehow am not convenient grinding cooked rice.
Aapam is our favourite and unlike other dishes which are commonly made aapam is slightly a demanding recipe. You need the right texture and the aapam has to really flip out of the aapam kadai. I remember Chef Bhatt saying Appam should have a thick centre, thin curved edge with million dots. The million dots say that they are perfectly fermented.
