Appam Aur Vegetable Stew

🇮🇳 Indian

Kerala appam with lacy edges, the bowl-shaped pancake built for coconut stew. Crisp where it should be, pillowy where it counts. Classic sides: molaga podi with sesame oil, and a bowl of sambar.

Prep 31 min Cook 15 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ginger1-inch piece
  • Green Chili2
  • Rice3/4 cup
  • Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves2 sprigs
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Coconut Milk1 cup
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp

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

    Loosen the batter to pouring consistency — think thick pancake batter, not glue.

  3. 3

    Grease the pan lightly with a cut onion dipped in oil — the old non-stick trick.

  4. 4

    Pour a ladle of batter and spread it thin (or fill the dimples three-quarters for paniyaram); drizzle oil around the edges.

  5. 5

    Wait for the edges to lift on their own, then flip for a minute more; serve hot with chutney and sambar.

Chef's tip

The first dosa is the pan's sacrifice — eat it and carry on.
