Avil Appam

AVIL APPAM OR BEATEN RICE APPAM

Avil or Beaten rice is a common breakfast item in Kerala. We normally cook it in the form of upma or just mix it up with coconut and jaggery or even simplified we add milk and sugar to it and have it like cornflakes.
Here we are going to try a different method of using avil in our diet. We are going to grind this along with raw rice and make dosa/appams out of it. Lets see how to make this delicious appam.

Ingredients :

1. Raw Rice - 3 cups

2. Avil or Beaten Rice - 1 1/2 cup

3. Fenugreek or Uluva - 1 teaspoon 
4. Cooked Rice - 1 1/2 cups

4. Sour Curd - 1 cup

5. Salt - as reqd

6. Water - as reqd

7. Oil - as reqd

Preparation :

• Soak Raw Rice and fenugreek for 4 - 5 Hrs.
• Wash the avil in some water. Soak the avil for 2 minutes in water and drain and keep it aside. 

Cooking Method :

• Grind together raw rice, fenugreek, avil or beaten rice, cooked rice and sour curd adding little water upto the consistency of dosa batter.
• Add salt and mix well.
• Keep this batter overnight for fermentation.
• The batter would rise by morning.
• Heat an appachatti or dosa tawa.
• Pour one laddle of the batter and spread it.
• Smear some oil on top of the appam and cook covered for 1 minute.
• Take it off from the tawa and place it in the serving dish.
• Make similar appams with the rest of the batter.
• Avil appam is ready to be served.
