Recipe for Palappam

Ingredients required

Raw rice /pachari – 1 cup(soaked in water for atleast 4 hours)

Freshly grated coconut – ½ cup

Cooked rice – ¼ cup

Salt – As per requirement

Baking soda – ¼ tsp

Water – As required.

Method of Preparation

Grind together raw rice, freshly grated coconut and cooked rice by adding water.(Add water so that it is just a little more than the level of ingredients meant for grinding.)

Now transfer to a large bowl so that there is enough space for fermentation.

It takes ideally 8-10 hours for fermentation .

After fermentation the batter is ready.

Add salt and baking soda just 10 minutes before making palappams.

Take a ladle full of batter and pour into appachatti(dish used for making palappam)

Hold both the handles of appachatti and spread in circular motion.

Close with a lid and cook until it is cooked.(Make sure that the middle portion is properly cooked)

Remove carefully with a wooden spatula/chattukam.
