Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cooked rice
- 1.5 cups Thin coconut milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a blender, combine 1 cup of rice flour, 0.5 cup of cooked rice, 1.5 cups of thin coconut milk, and 0.25 teaspoon of instant yeast.
Step 2
Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and slightly watery batter.
Step 3
Pour the batter into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Cover the batter with a kitchen towel and let it ferment in a warm place for about 8 hours or overnight.
Step 5
Once the batter is fermented, give it a light stir. You might notice bubbles, which indicate the batter is ready.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick appam pan or small wok over medium heat. Brush it lightly with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Step 7
Pour a ladleful of the appam batter into the center of the pan. Immediately rotate the pan in a circular motion, spreading the batter evenly along the edges while keeping the center thicker.
Step 8
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the appam for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown and the center is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the appam carefully with a spatula and transfer it to a plate.
Step 10
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 11
Serve the low-fat appam hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
