Instructions
 

Prepare the Ginger Chutney

  • Peel and chop the ginger, tomato, and coriander. Combine these with the jaggery, red chilies, aam chur powder, and salt in a blender. Add minimal water and blend to a smooth chutney.

Temper the Chutney

  • Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add curry leaves and sauté briefly. Pour this tempering over the chutney.

Prepare the Appam

  • In a bowl, mix the appam batter with water and salt. The consistency should be slightly thinner than the original batter.

Cook the Appam

  • Heat a non-stick pan or appam patra. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the center of the hot pan. Spread the batter gently to form a thin circle. Cover and cook until the edges lift and the appam is cooked through. Serve hot with the ginger chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Appam and Chutney

  • For extra fluffy appams, let the batter ferment for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking appams. Cook them one at a time for best results.
  • Adjust the amount of red chilies in the chutney to control the spice level. You can also add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have aam chur powder, you can use a little lime juice to add tartness instead. Freshly squeezed lime juice can also be a great addition.
