Appam - Kappi method

Ingredients
  1. Rice (Pachari / Sona masoori) - 1 cup
  2. Grated coconut -0.5 cup
  3. Yeast - 0.5 tsp
  4. Sugar - 2-3 tbsp (I normally use 3)
  5. Soda powder - 0.5 tsp
  6. Salt - a pinch
  7. Coconut water - 1 cup
  8. Water - 1 cup

Procedure
  1. Soak rice for 3 hours minimum.
  2. Grind rice with coconut water in a mixie. Add very less water and grind the rice well into a smooth paste.
  3. Make Kappi using the ground rice
    1. Heat a pan and add 2 tbsp from this ground rice.
    2. Add one cup water to this.
    3. Keep mixing this continuously.
    4. When bubbles start coming in the mix switch off the flame
    5. Allow this mix to cool
  4. Add coconut, yeast, sugar and salt to the ground rice in the mixie.
  5. Add the kappi from step 3 to the mixie 
  6. Ground well into a smooth paste. 
  7. Add the remaining coconut water and mix well.
  8. Leave this batter overnight for fermenting
  9. In the morning add soda powder to the fermented batter
  10. Make Appam
    1. Heat up the appam chatti / non-stick appam tawa
    2. Brush the tawa with very little oil
    3. Pour one laddle of batter
    4. Swirl the tawa so that the batter sticks to the entire tawa. The central part will have more batter than the rest
    5. Cover and cook for 1 minute
    6. Open the cover and make sure that the appam is cooked well especially in the center
  11. Serve the appam with vegetable stew or egg curry
