Appam Recipe Without Yeast | No Baking Soda | No Kappi Kachal | No Urad Dal With Video Recipe. Appam is a traditional breakfast item in southindia, especially popular in Kerala and Tamilnadu. It is a gluten-free breakfast item. I used to prepare this appam when friends or relatives are coming as guests in our house. All will like my appam and many of my friends requested the recipe of my appam, so I thought to take a video of that with detailed steps and share here, so that it will be useful for my friends and all my readers who don't know how to make perfect appam. Appam is prepared by grinding the soaked raw rice along with grated coconut and cooked rice into a smooth batter. Once ground it into a smooth batter, we need to ferment it. The batter can be fermented with yeast, baking soda or even with toddy( an alcoholic beverage). Then we make the appam with this fermented batter in appachetty or appam pan.
My Appam recipe is different from other appam recipes. This appam recipe is a healthy one, because in this recipe I am not using any fermenting agent. You may be wondering now, how to make appam without a fermenting agent, isn't it?. Yes, it is possible to make perfect soft appam without any fermenting agent. Let's see how it is possible. In my recipe I am using my hand to mix the batter. I just mixed the batter with my hand for 1to 2 minutes after making the batter. The bacteria in the hand will helps the fermentation process. Appam recipes with fermenting agents like yeast, baking soda and toddy just requires 8hrs fermentation, but this recipe of appam requires minimum of 12hrs fermentation in a warm place, as we are not using any fermenting agent. We no need to use any fermenting agent in a well fermented batter. That is an important thing that u need to consider while trying this appam recipe. If your tried to make appam without allowing the batter to ferment for 12hrs, you won't get perfect appam.. So just make sure that your making appam with the batter after 12hrs.
For making the appam soft,  just use the water that we used for soaking rice for grinding. So, make sure that you washed the rice well before soaking it and use drinking water for soaking the rice, so that you can use the water that you used for soaking rice for grinding. Try this recipe, I am sure that you will get perfect soft appam, if you followed the steps that I mentioned here as it is. Let us come to the recipe.
