Ingredients

2 cups Raw Rice (Pacharisi) (1 cup = 250 ml)
1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to your taste)
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
2 ladle Idli Batter (left over) (Optional)

Instructions

Making the Batter

Soak the rice in water for 1-2 hours.
Drain the rice and grind it in mixer to a smooth batter by adding water little by little. Take the batter in a vessel. (refer the vidoe for the tips related to the consistency of the batter)

Making Koozh

Clean the mixer with some water and along with this add 4 ladle of ground batter and pour this into a pan and keep stirring it till this mixture becomes thick consistency and then switch off the flame

Making the Appam Batter

Add this to the ground batter and add salt. Keep this batter aside for atleast 12 hours for fermentation

Making the Appam

After 8 hours, add the soda salt and the aapam batter is now ready for use.
Heat the Appam pan and pour 1 ladle of batter and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly and close the pan with the lid.
Let the aapam cook in low flame for few minutes. Once the appam is cooked, we can see the appam stop sticking to the pan and comes out easily. Gently remove the appam from pan and place it in a plate. Repeat the same for the rest of the batter.
