Wheat appam

This is a recipe I got from a friend & cousin of mine swapnachechi. She is a talented cook and is always into something. So yesterday when we went visiting, she gave me this wonderful breakfast idea, which is very healthy too. It is the vella-appam made of wheat flour and raw rice powder mix

Ingredients

• Wheat flour - 2 cups
• Raw rice powder - 1 cup
• Yeast - 1 tsp
• Sugar - 1 tsp
• Milk + water (taken in equal proportions to get a thick batter)
• Salt
• Egg -1 (optional)

Method

• Mix yeast, sugar and a little lukewarm water. Keep aside.
• Add the milk & water combination to the dry ingredients and mix well until u get a thick smooth batter.
• There shouldn't be any lumps.
• Now add the foamed yeast to the batter and brisk well.
• Add salt and keep aside for a whole night/8-10 hrs
• In the morning add 1 tbsp sugar and a beaten egg. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, batter is ready to be poured on a medium heated tawa for getting round vella appams

Notes

• Egg is optional and can be avoided
• Make sure the yeast has foamed up before adding it to the batter.
• Add sugar and keep the fermented batter for 10 minutes before making appams. 
• This appam goes well with spicy kadala curry and masala chicken curries much more than the usual veg/non-veg stews.
