Aapam... A really special kind of dosa!
Ingredients:
1. Parboiled Rice- 2 cups
2. Idli Rice- 2 cups
3. Urad dhal- 1/2 cup
4.Venthayam-3 tbsp (Fenugreek)
Procedure:
Soak both the rice together. Soak Urad dhal and Venthayam together.
Let both soak for 4 hours.
In the wet grinder, add urad dhal and venthayam after removing excess water.
Once it is finely blended add the rice and let it grind to a fine paste. Adding water is purely based on your judgement.
This has to be left overnight to ferment.
If you have a pan with lid, you can make appam. You can get special pans to make this too.
Let the pan get hot. In my case, it was a non stick pan so no oil is needed.
Add the batter in the center. You have two options
a. Hold both sides and rotate the pan clockwise. The batter will spread in all sides.
b. Use the ladle to spread.
I have used the second option to get a flowery Aapam.
This can be served with coconut milk.
How to prepare coconut milk:
Grind coconut (1 big) in a blender adding 1/2 cup of water. Add 4 spoons of sugar and 1 tbsp of Cardamom powder
Yummy coconut milk will be ready to serve.
