Recipe Notes
  • You can replace the urad dal with poha or 2 tsp of fenugreek seeds.
  • You can make appam batter with only raw rice and ½ tsp of baking soda right before making appams.
  • You can also add 1 tsp of yeast before fermenting the batter.
  • Appam will not be tasty without proper fermentation, try to make it perfectly fermented batter.
