🇮🇳 Indian

Kerala string-hopper appam, jaggery-sweet and thread-fine. The batter does the work; the pan does the magic. Serve with coconut chutney and hot sambar.

Prep 35 min Cook 17 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ginger1-inch piece
  • Green Chili2
  • Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp
  • Rice Flour1 cup
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the rice and urad dal (with fenugreek seeds) separately for 4-6 hours, then grind each to a smooth batter with cold water, combine and ferment overnight.

  2. 2

    Stir the fermented batter gently; it should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of water only if needed.

  3. 3

    Get the pan properly hot; the first attempt tells you everything about the temperature.

  4. 4

    Pour, spread with the back of the ladle in ever-widening circles, and trickle oil down the sides.

  5. 5

    Cook till crisp-bottomed and blistedy, roll or stack, and carry to the table while the first one is still crackling.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
