About Aappam
Aappam, also known as hoppers, is a popular South Indian and Sri Lankan dish made from a fermented batter of rice and coconut milk. Its airy, pancake-like texture with a crisp edge and soft center is achieved by cooking the batter in a specially shaped pan. Aappam is traditionally enjoyed with vegetable stews, coconut chutney, or spicy curries. The fermentation process boosts its digestibility and enhances gut-friendly probiotics. Rice serves as a gluten-free base, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivity, while coconut milk adds healthy fats. However, the dish is relatively high in carbohydrates and may contain saturated fats depending on the preparation, so portion control is key for those watching their caloric intake. Aappam is a delicious balance of taste and nutrition, celebrating the rich culinary heritage of South India and Sri Lanka while offering a unique option for diverse diets.
