Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Urad dal
- 0.5 cup Moong dal
- 0.5 cup Chana dal
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
Instructions
Rinse the urad dal, moong dal, and chana dal thoroughly under running water. Soak them along with the fenugreek seeds in enough water for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
Once soaked, drain the lentils and fenugreek seeds. Transfer them to a blender along with the rolled oats.
Add water gradually and blend to create a smooth batter. The batter should have a pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter.
Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl, cover it, and allow it to ferment for about 6-8 hours or until the batter rises slightly and has tiny bubbles. The fermentation time may vary based on the ambient temperature.
After fermentation, add rice flour and salt to the batter. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Heat a non-stick appam pan or a shallow frying pan over medium heat and brush it lightly with cooking oil.
Pour a ladleful of the appam batter into the center of the pan. Swirl the pan gently to spread the batter into a thin circle with slightly thicker edges.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the center is fully cooked. You do not need to flip the appam.
Carefully remove the appam with a spatula and transfer it to a plate.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, ensuring to brush the pan with oil as needed.
Serve these high-protein appams hot with a side of coconut chutney or vegetable stew for a wholesome meal.
