About Apam
Apam, a traditional dish originating from South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine, is a type of soft, fluffy pancake made primarily from fermented rice and coconut milk. Known for its light texture and subtle flavor, it is typically cooked in a rounded pan, giving it a crisp, lace-like edge and a spongy center. The fermentation process enhances its nutritional profile by increasing gut-friendly probiotics, promoting digestion. Apam is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, making it a favorable option for those with dietary restrictions. However, its carbohydrate content can be significant, depending on portion size, so moderation is key for maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. Often paired with savory curries or sweet coconut milk, Apam is a versatile dish that combines wholesome ingredients with cultural heritage, offering both nourishment and flavor in every bite.
