About Aapam
Aapam, also known as appam, is a traditional South Indian dish primarily enjoyed in Kerala and Tamil Nadu cuisines. It is a soft, bowl-shaped pancake made from fermented rice batter and coconut milk. Typically cooked on a hot skillet, it has a spongy center and crisp edges, making it a versatile base for both savory and sweet pairings. Aapam is naturally gluten-free and rich in carbohydrates, offering a quick source of energy. Its fermentation process enhances digestibility and introduces beneficial probiotics that promote gut health. However, it may lack significant protein unless paired with healthy accompaniments like vegetable stews or lentil-based curries. While traditional recipes are free from added fats, variations with excessive oil or sugar may reduce its nutritional value. Aapam provides a wholesome option for balanced South Indian meals while its light texture makes it gentle on the stomach.
