Ingredients
For the Beetroot Appam
- 1 packet Appam Batter farmz2familiez recommended
- 100 ml Beetroot Juice fresh
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- Oil for greasing
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the appam batter and sugar. Ensure the batter is at room temperature for optimal fermentation.
- Gently stir in the beetroot juice. Add just enough to achieve the desired pink hue; adding too much will thin the batter. If needed, add salt to taste.
- Heat a non-stick appam pan over low heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil if needed.
- Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot pan and swirl to create the characteristic thin, lacy edges. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy and the center is cooked through.
- Serve the vibrant Beetroot Appam hot with creamy Vegetable Stew or your favorite gravy.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a subtle earthy flavor and a more intense pink hue, roast the beetroot before juicing—it adds depth without overpowering the delicate appam taste.
- If you prefer a lighter texture, allow the batter to rest with the beetroot juice for 15-20 minutes; this enhances fermentation and results in fluffier appams.
- To make this recipe vegan, ensure your veg stew uses coconut milk and skip any ghee or butter, sticking to neutral oil for cooking the appams.
- Serve the beetroot appams with a sprinkle of freshly grated coconut or a drizzle of coconut milk for an elegant presentation and extra creaminess.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough appams. Mix until just combined.
- For perfectly crisp appams, use a well-seasoned appam pan or a non-stick skillet.
- Experiment with different vegetable juices like carrot or spinach for variations on this recipe.
Storage Instructions
- Appams are best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in a warm skillet or microwave until heated through.
