Appam is a thin pancake that is prepared from Rice batter mixed with coconut milk. It is a staple breakfast in Kerala and in Srilanka. What makes it so special is the lacy, thin outer layer and its central layer which is soft and pillowy. The consistency of the batter is really important to achieve this right texture. Normally Raw Rice (pacharisi) is used as main ingredient. I have used Brown Basmati Rice and the story behind is explained below 😉
