Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1½ Cup Raw Rice 1 Cup - 250ml
- ¼ Cup Urad Dal
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Chopped
- 2 Green Chili
- Few Curry leaves
- 1 tablespoon Finely Sliced Coconut
- ½ teaspoon Peppercorns
- a Pinch Asafoetida (Asafetida / Hing)
- 2 Cups Oil For Deep Frying
Instructions
- Wash and soak the rice and dal together for 2 hours. After 2 hours, drain the water and take the rice and dal in a mixer or grinder
- rind the rice and dal to a nice and smooth batter like a dosa batter. Finely chop the green chillies and add it to the appam batter along with salt, ginger, curry leaves, pepper and chopped coconut pieces and mix well. If you want a sour taste, you can leave the batter aside for about 2 hours to get it fermented. But this is optional. The conventional method of making vellai appam doesn’t make the batter fermented.
- Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot enough, take a small ladle and take 1 ladle full of appam batter and pour it in hot oil. If the oil is really hot, we can see the appam gets nicely puffed up. With a spatula, gently flip the appam on the other side and fry them. Since the main ingredient is raw rice, the appam will not become red it will be white or little brown. That is speciality of this appam thats why we call this as ” Vellai Appam”. Remove the fried appam and repeat the step for the rest of the batter.
- The yummy Vellai appam is now ready for neivedhyam or for serving!
Notes
- We can use thin coconut milk while grinding to have extra coconut flavor
