Appam a south Indian style pancakes or dosa made with fermented rice and urad dal mixture .Usually served with coconut milk or stew or kuruma.
Appam is very famous breakfast item in kerela and chettinad.There are many variations of appam recipe like adding baking soda, eno or add sago pearls/Sabudana (later one i recommend you can do it ).But my mom never add anything to the appam batter ,but still the appam taste so good and be spongy.In case if you are trying to add sago/sabudana/javarisi to appam batter soak it with other ingredients and grind it or soak is and add it after its fermented.
Best time to prepare appam is ,on a weekend .Why i say is, after having this delicious appam you don't really feel like having lunch and you feel drowsy too.so better have it as a brunch and go for light meal in the evening .
Ladies first few appam will give a little tough time.You can use the coconut flakes(after taking the milk out) tied in a cotton cloth to wipe the bottom of the pan to give an extra oil layer .Its better to apply more oil for first few if you are not using non-stick pan like me .
I have done a video on how to make appam in regular pan .Hope you guys will like it.In case of any doubts just comment or email me .

- You can have it with chana curry(kadala curry) too.
Note:
- If you are not able to make appam in pan.Then make uthappams in dosa tava.
- First few appam will stick to the bottom so apply generous oil to the bottom before pouring the batter.
- Use the flakes of coconut after you take out the milk to give a extra oil to the bottom.In a deep tava you cant really spread the oil .So this method works
