Servings 4 appams

Ingredients

  

Sweet Filling:

• ¼ cup Grated Coconut (தேங்காய்ப்பூ) Freshly grated coconut will taste better than the frozen version
• 1 tsp Sugar (சீனி)
• ¼ cup Mung Beans (பயறு) Optional (good source of protein)

Appam:

• ½ cup All Purpose Flour (கோதுமை மா)
• ¾ cup Water (தண்ணீர்)
• ⅛ tsp Salt (உப்பு)

Instructions

 

Sweet Filling:

• Mix grated coconut and sugar. Can add cooked mung beans (பயறு) if desired.

Appam:

• Mix water, flour, and salt to make a smooth batter
  
• Heat a pan and add a little bit of oil to make a very light film on pan
• Pour a scoop of the batter and spread from center out to make a roti
  
• Cook on both sides on low to medium heat. The roti should only be lightly cooked. It will be a white color without brown spots
• Add about 1 -1.5 tbsp of the sweet filling along the diameter of the roti. Then roll the roti to keep the filling inside. Use silicone gloves when rolling and/or lower the heat to avoid burning your fingers.
