About Appam
Appam is a traditional South Indian dish, especially popular in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, made from a fermented batter of rice and coconut milk. This soft, bowl-shaped pancake has a crisp, lacy edge and a fluffy center, often served with stews or curries. The fermentation process enhances its digestibility and develops beneficial probiotics. Appam is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, as it's typically cooked with minimal oil. Its primary ingredients—rice and coconut—provide carbohydrates for energy and medium-chain triglycerides for quick metabolism. However, its glycemic index is moderate to high due to the rice content, which may not be ideal for those with diabetes or on low-carb diets. Pairing it with protein-rich dishes like lentil curries or vegetable stews can make it a more balanced meal. Nutritious, flavorful, and versatile, appam is a wholesome option enjoyed as part of a traditional Indian meal.
