Appam with Coconut Milk
Appam Matrum Thengaai Paal
Last reviewed:
Appam is a type of pancake, originating from South India, made with fermented rice batter and coconut milk. These thin, bowl-shaped pancakes have crispy edges and a soft, spongy center. They are traditionally served with sweet coconut milk or vegetable stew. The fermentation process gives appam a slightly tangy flavor, which complements the sweetness of the coconut milk.
