Aappam,Kerala Special
Its ‘Dosa festival’ in ‘Geeths Dawath’ and I’m enjoying posting different varieties of dosa.Today’s dosa is Aappam with a different version.I have tried various versions of Aappam and have posted 2 versions earlier.This time I adapted the recipe from ‘Oggarane Dabbi’,a Kannada cookery show by Chef Suchitra which was telecasted yesterday.
Aappam is a popular Kerala cuisine.Whenever we visit Gods own country we make it a point to relish its delicacies.Aapam is a favourite at my place especially my son and myself love it to the core.I served it with the leftover egg curry and Andhra chicken roast which made a great combination .It goes well with chutney too.Suchitra served with sweet coconut milk which we prepare with Shevai/string hoppers.
