I really miss my valiyamma ..She used to make this appam for me when ever she visit us ..Now she is no more.. I dedicate this recipe for her 😦

Mutta Pathiri

Ingredients

Rice Flour-3/4 cup

All Purpose Flour-1 1/4cup

Salt-2pinch

Egg-1

Hot water-1/4cup

Coconut milk -of 1

Baking Soda-2pinch

for Soaking appam -coconut milk of 1 coconut

Mutta appam /kerala pancake

Method

In a bowl add rice flour and salt ,mix well.

In to that pour hot water and mix well.

Then add maida and mix

Now pour coconut milk and beaten egg d baking soda ..

Blend using a egg beater so that the batter bubbles up. (Add coconut milk in small amounts and mix and add more until we get a dosa batter consistency )

Heat a non stick pan to high heat ,pour some batter in the middle and gently spread to a small circle ..

U can see the bubbles coming ,now reduce the heat and close the pan cook on medium flame (or the back side will get burn)

Take the appam with the help of a spatula and dip into the coconut milk Just dip and take and place in a plate ..

or u can pour coconut milk over the appam .. Make appams with rest of the batter ..

U can serve this appam with coconut milk and sugar ..(thats my fav combo ) But its very tasty along with chicken ,mutton ,beef curry etc.. Usually we make this appam in a manchatti (clay pot )especially designed for this..

U can see the chatti below

Otta Appam

The name of this appam varies place to place ..In my area(thrissur ,perinjanam ) we call this as mutta pathiri ..There we don’t use baking soda and rice flour for this recipe .. Only egg ,coconut milk ,maida and salt .. But as i have an electric ceramic stove ,can’t use this type of pots .. So When I tried the authentic recipe with a non stick pan in that stove ,i didn’t get the good result which i was looking for ..So tried this recipe and came out well .. This recipe is a fail proof ..that i guaranty .. 🙂 So try this easy tasty mutta pathiri and give me ur feed back..

Ingredients

Idiyappam/Noolappam

Roasted fine rice flour-1cup

Water-3/4 cup

Thick Coconut milk-1/2cup

Salt-

Coconut /sunflower oil-1tsp

Idiyappam/Noolappam

Method

Boil Water along with salt and oil..

Then add coconut milk and boil by stirring continuously …

Lower the flame and slowly add rice flour and mix well with a wooden spatula ..

Remove from the fire and transfer to a big bowl and continue mixing ..

Then cover the dough to avoid drying …

When the mix is still warm but not too hot to handle ,grease ur hand and knead to a soft dough …

Take one portion of the dough and close the remaining with a thin cloth and again with a lid to keep the moist ..

Take the idiyappam maker and put the dough and press into desired shapes or if u r using idly steamer then shape of a idly …

Steam for 5 minutes and take it out and transfer into a casserole or wide bowl and cover with a thin cloth ..

Repeat the same procedure for rest of the dough …

So the tasty and soft idiyappm is ready to serve ..

U can serve with coconut milk and sugar (my favourite combination), egg roast,kadala curry ,chicken curry …..

Idiyappam/Noolappam

This time when i went to Kerala for my vacation my mother in law served me soft idiyappams ..Those were so soft , just melted in the mouth ..So i was very curious to knw the ingredients .. 🙂 She shared the secret agent 🙂 our healthy coconut milk which gives soft texture to idiyappams.. and of course the rice flour too .. There amma used to grind and use ,but we can’t do so right.. ..Here i used double horse pathiri powder …

Idiyappam/Noolappam

And the water measurement is like when we add rice flour and stir ,whole part should be wet and cooked and when we knead we must get a soft dough ..Otherwise its very difficult to press if the dough is hard … So adjust the water accordingly .. Here i used (water +coconut milk )1 1/4 cup totally.

Another thing..If u can’t make idiyappam when u want u serve for example ,if u r a working woman ,so have to cook everything in the morning or late night ..So u make idiyappam whenever u want and keep in the fridge ..But just steam them for 5 minutes b4 serving ..So the idiyappam will be soft and fresh 🙂

So dears why getting late ,try this version and share ur experience with me ..

Idiyappam/Noolappam

Love

🙂
