About Appam

Appam is a Kerala rice-and-coconut hopper. This version is Raji Biju’s Wayanad homestay recipe, published by Kerala Tourism, with cooked rice and yeast in the fermented batter.

Rice gives a mild base, while grated coconut adds richness and a gentle coconut flavour. Sugar and salt balance the batter; the accompanying curry remains a separately prepared dish.

The batter forms a curved pancake in its pan, with a fluffy centre and thinner edges. The source describes appam as fluffy but does not explicitly specify its temperature at service.
