Appam Recipe Using Idli Dosa Batter & Onion Chutney | Appam Recipe With A Side Dish

(Pics updated)
I learnt this recipe from my friend Shalini.She told me two methods of making aapam.I found this one as the easiest method .I tried this for breakfast yesterday and it was a super duper hit.This appam recipe is without yeast and it is made with our usual idli, dosa batter.So if you have idli batter ready in hand,you can make this appam in the next 15 minutes.It is very easy and tastes divine with sweet coconut milk and onion chutney as side dish. Generally we make Vegetable stew as the side dish for appam.But my friend told me to try this onion chutney. It was a nice side dish for appam.This onion chutney tastes good for idli,dosa too.

INGREDIENTS 

1 cup - 250ml Idli batter  - 4 cups (I took the batter for making 10 appams.) Grated coconut – 1 cup Salt – as needed Sugar – A pinch Cooking soda – 2 pinches INGREDIENTS FOR ONION CHUTNEY –EASY SIDE DISH FOR APPAM Big Onion – 2 nos Red chilly –  3-4 nos Urad dal – 2 tsp Asafetida /Hing – a pinch Curry leaves – a sprig ( 10 leaves) Tamarind – marble size Oil – 2 tsp Salt & water – as needed

METHOD

Take the fermented idli batter in a bowl and add salt ( If there is no salt in batter),sugar and cooking soda. Grind the coconut with 1/2 cup of warm water and take the first milk.Transfer half of the first milk into a separate bowl.U can use it as side dish by adding sugar and cardamom powder. Add the remaining half of the milk  into the batter.Again grind the coconut with 1/4 -1/2 cup of water and extract the second milk from it.Add this milk to the batter completely.(The coconut milk should be added such that the batter should not be too watery.It should be little loose like our dosa batter) .Mix the batter well and leave it for 10 mins Now take a kadai / appam pan ( non-stick) .Pour a ladleful of batter in the center of the kadai.Lift the kadai and tilt it in circular motion so that the corners will be thin and thick in the center.Pour a tsp of oil around the appam and cover it with a lid.Simmer the flame. Cook on one side only.Once it gets cooked remove and serve hot!! Serve hot with coconut milk and onion chutney!! Enjoy ! ONION CHUTNEY Usually we all make vegetable stew for aapam..But this chutney also goes very well..Try this and let me know:) Heat a kadai with 2 tsp of oil and roast the urad dal ,red chilly with hing.Set aside. In the same kadai add the sliced onions and saute well.Before switching off the flame just add the curry leaves and toss for a second.Then switch off the flame and cool down. Now grind the  sautéed onion & curry leaves along with roasted items ,tamarind,salt & water … Flavourful Onion - curry leaves chutney is ready to go with Aapam..

Note 1.When bubbles does not form in the dosa, add little more cooking soda.  2. If the bottom of the dosa sticks to the pan and doesn’t come out well that shows coconut milk added is more than the required measure.So add little more idli batter.
