Ingredients

2 cups white rice
½ coconut
1 teaspoon yeast
¾ cup milk
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cooked rice  (partially ground)

Method:

1. Mix two cups of rice flour with 1 teaspoon of yeast and let it ferment for 4 hours.

2. Add ¾ cup of milk, ¼ cup of sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir the mix thoroughly.

3. Warm up the vessel called 'Palappam Chatti’.Pour 5 tablespoons of this mix into the Chatti and rotate the Palappam Chatti by hand so that the mix spreads out evenly and in a circular fashion.

4. Cover it with the lid and let it cook until the edges of the Appam turn slightly brown in color.

5. Serve the Palappam with vegetable stew, beef or chicken, or lamb stew.
