Appam is a traditional kerala and tamilnadu style food. In karnataka they dont prepare this.So this is a new dish I learned from mom-in-law after marriage.Appam is one of my favorite dish as it is easy to prepare and good for health also.
For appam you need special tava called Appam tava which we will get in all the stores.

Ingredients:
Idly rice – 1 cup
Raw rice – 1 1/2 cup
Urad dal – 1/4 cup
Methi seeds / fenugreek – 2 spoons
Salt -to taste

Soak all these for 5 hours and grind it to a nice paste.Add salt.Keep the batter for 10-12 hours for fermentation.

Putting appam is little tricky.Take the appam tava, put a spoon of oil.Put one small cup of batter in the center,take the tava in hands and rotate the tava in circular motion so that the batter spreads equally.

Cover the tava with lid for 2 minutes.Its ready
