Traditionally appams are fermented with toddy/kallu which is a local alcoholic drink. Since toddy is not available everywhere easily, dry active yeast works as a good substitute. The appam made with toddy tastes differently than the appams made with yeast.

Appam | Paalappam Recipe with Instant Batter | with step by step photos and video. An Authentic preparation from scratch and an Instant version. To make these appams, all the ingredients are blend to a fine paste. Additionally, the batter is kept for fermentation. The process of fermentation takes from 5 to7 hrs based on the temperature or climatic conditions of each region. Furthermore, the fermentation of rice batter is a key step to yield a soft and crisp pancake.

Appams are served with vegetable stew, kadala curry (chickpea curry), potato stew, vegetable korma, coconut chutney, or sweetened milk. I love to have appams with sweetened coconut milk.
