Appam
.
Years ago, in a group run by
@vinayaprabhu2 and some others, I saw a recipe for Appam. I saved it because it seemed easy. And it was the only recipe that felt “easy” enough to try. I started making Appams with that recipe 6 years ago, when
@priyamudur brought me an Appam pan. I haven’t looked back since.
.
I soaked 2 cups of Raw Rice overnight. I ground it with 1/2 cup each of cooked Rice and Coconut to a fine batter. I added Salt to taste and some Sugar along with 1/4 tsp Yeast and left it to ferment overnight. Swipe to see a picture of the fermented batter.
.
I wanted to make Stew to go with this. Then, I thought that Egg Curry might be a better option. But I’d have to make something else for Amma. I saw
@chefkunal make a basic Coconut Curry. I decided to make something like that with some Vegetables, take some out for Amma and add Boiled Eggs to the rest.
.
I made a gravy by loosely following Chef Kunal’s method. It was very similar to my Egg Roast gravy, except that it had Tomatoes. I heated some Coconut Oil, added Mustard, Cumin, Asafoetida and Curry Leaves. To this, I added Onions with Salt, Turmeric, Chilli, Coriander Powder and cooked it all together. Then, I added some Tomatoes and cooked it again. I was thinking about what Vegetables I could add when I found the leftover Batata Saung from yesterday’s lunch. I added that to the Onion Tomato mixture and added a carton of Coconut Milk and brought it to a boil slowly. Finally, I finished the dish with some chopped Coriander.
.
A hearty breakfast to kickstart this Saturday was exactly what we needed.
.
Now to think about what to make for lunch. Since we had Konkani food yesterday, I asked the children to pick between Tamil, Telugu and Punjabi and they picked Tamil.
.
I don’t feel like Sambar (I almost never do, but I must change that) and I might make Milagu Kuzhambu today. With Paruppu Thogayal. Any suggestions on what else to make with this meal are welcome.
.
Happy Saturday!
