Details and Ingredients

Appam is a cherished Kerala delicacy, crafted from a fermented batter of rice and coconut milk. Cooked in a special curved pan, it forms a crisp, lacy edge with a soft, fluffy center that melts in your mouth. The subtle sweetness from the coconut and the slight tang from fermentation make it a versatile companion to both savory and sweet dishes.

Served fresh and warm, Appam pairs beautifully with coconut-based stews like vegetable or chicken stew, kadala curry, or even a drizzle of sweetened coconut milk. This light, gluten-free pancake embodies the essence of Kerala’s coastal breakfast tradition.
