How to make broken wheat appam or pancakes?
Broken Wheat Appam | Pancakes | with step by step photos and video. The super soft and easy appams are made by grinding the soaked broken wheat with grated coconut and white poha/aval. The raw rice takes nearly 4 to 5 hrs to soak in water but broken wheat takes only about 1 to 2 hrs to get soaked well. Since the wheat is soaked well, while grinding the mixture we should be careful in adding the water. Firstly, add only 1/4 cup of water and then check upon the consistency and add if you require more water. Moreover, the addition of cardamom powder, cumin powder, and rice flour in this recipe is optional. For a nice flavor to the appam this is essential.
For the appam to get fermented either you can add the yeast or 1 or 2 tsp of already fermented batter. Fermentation depends on the climatic conditions of each region, approximately around 6 to 8 hrs.
