Appam Recipe

Aaah don't mind me, while i paste a copy of the recipe of Appam here. In case I lose it, that is.

I wanted to make Appam for a while but didn't find a recipe until i saw it in a local recipe site. So better copy and put it here before I lose the page. You are free to try it too, Spymama don't mind shaing it with you all here. Any feedback, comments let me know. Of if you have adjusted or done something better please do let me know ya.

Appam (Hoppers / Indian pancakes)

Ingredients
225g rice
1 tsp salt
1.7 litres coconut milk (add just enough water to one grated coconut and squeeze out the milk)
1/8 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Oil for greasing

Method
Grind the rice in a blender till fine. Remove and put into a mixing bowl. Add salt, bicarbonate of soda and coconut milk; mix. Leave aside, covered with a damp tea towel, overnight. Before the batter is used, whip it to make it light. Heat a small pan. Dip the end of a clean towel into oil. Lightly grease the pan using the towel.Pour in a small ladle of batter and turn the pan around so that the batter runs up the sides of the pan, giving it a somewhat lacy effect. Cover with a lid.When the batter is cooked in the middle and becomes firm, remove from pan. Keep the appam warm on a tea-towel placed in clean plasticware.
