Egg Aapam

Egg Aapam

Egg Aapam

This is my kid's favourite aapam.. He used to eat this aapam without any side-dish. Its one of the best ways to include egg in kids diet.. In this recipe, Egg is only half-boiled.. Hence all Half-boil lovers will love this aapam.. 

No problem if you don't have a typical  Aapam pan. Just use a small Non-Stick pan..  Here is that tasty recipe.

Egg Aapam


Ingredients:  (Makes 12 or 13 aapams)


For Batter:

Idli rice                                        - 1 cup
Paccharisi ( Raw rice)                - 1 cup
Urad dhal                                    - 1/4 cup
Javvarisi ( Sago)                         - 1/4 cup
vendhayam ( fenugreek seeds)  - 2 tsp

Pepper                                         - as required
 Oil                                               - for appam

Procedure:

  • Soak everything under 'For Batter' for 3-4 hrs. Grind everything together to a smooth batter.Let the batter ferment for at-least 8 hrs.
  • After the batter has fermented, take aapam pan and add oil to grease the pan. 
  • The batter should be in free flowing consistency. It should be only little thinner than Dosai batter. Pour batter with a ladle in the centre .
  • Then rotate the pan so that batter reaches all the parts of the pan.. Break an egg and pour it directly in the center of aapam. Throw in some salt and pepper. Add oil and close it with a lid. 
  • When the aapam is done on one side, carefully take and transfer it to the serving plate.
  •  Enjoy your Egg appam.. No side-dish required for this aapam. ;

Karuppatti Aapam (Sweet Aapam)


Karuppatti is nothing but Palm Jaggery which is extracted from Palm trees. Unlike White sugar, which has only empty calories, karuppatti is rich in Iron, Calcium, Minerals and  Nutrients.

And one more good news!! Karuppatti can be consumed in little amount by people who suffer from Diabetes. Here is that recipe..

aapam (step wise pictures)

Aappam


Appam is the dish which few people think that its hard to prepare. But its quite easy. Just like Dosai one can do. You have to prepare the batter. Soak the ingredients for batter on the previous day itself.



aapam



Soak it for atleast 5 hours. Then grind it. Let it ferment for the whole night. In the morning , can prepare appam with the batter. you don't even need a typical appam pan. If your stove is a electirc one, you can't use appam pan. In that case you can use a small non-stick pan. The corners won't be very crispy.. But something is better than nothing. So give it a try.


 Ingredients: 


Idli rice                                        - 1 cup
Paccharisi ( Raw rice)                 - 1 cup
Urad dhal                                     - 1/4 cup
Javvarisi ( Sago)                          - 1/4 cup
vendhayam ( fenugreek seeds)    - 2 tsp
Salt                                               - as required
Gingelly Oil                                 - for appam
Grated Coconut                            - a handful


Procedure:

  2. Heat the pan. 
  3. Add oil to grease the pan. 
  4. Pour batter with a ladle in the centre .(picture 1)

  6. Once its done remove from the flame and serve with coconut milk.


Quick Tips:

 Though many procedures are followed for preparing appam, this is the one which i learnt from my MIL. I don't prefer adding appam soda since its unhealthy. If you want you can add a pinch.
