Ingredients

3 C raw rice

1 C grated coconut

1 C coconut water

1 / 2 C cooked rice

10 g yeast

2 tbsp sugar(or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon baking pwd

Directions

Soak the rice in water 4-5 hours.

Grind it along with grated coconut and cooked rice to a fine thick paste. Add 1 cup coconut-water ( as needed ) to grind smoothly.

Add the yeast and the sugar .

Allow to ferment overnight at room temperature

Next day , heat a small non-stick wok with a small curved bottom .

Add abit of coconut milk , baking powder and mix the batter.

Pour approximately half a spoon of batter and quickly but gently swirl the pan around such that only a thin layer of the batter covers the sides and a thick layer collects at the bottom.

Cover with a lid and cook each appam on medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes till the edges have become golden crisp .

The centre should be fluffy .

A well-fermented batter will form small lacey holes all over the appam while cooking.

Repeat for each appam .

Serve with sweetened milk or some spicy curry or stew stew ( http://www.grouprecipes.com/65448/potato-or-chicken-stew.html ) .

Egg hoppers - Same as plain hoppers, but an egg is broken into the pancake as it cooks.
Milk hoppers - A spoonful of thick coconut milk/coconut cream is added to the doughy centre. When cooked, the centre is firm to the touch but remains soft inside and has a sweeter taste from the coconut milk.
Honey hoppers - Hoppers are cooked with palm treacle.
