This was my first attempt to make rice pancake or appam or hopper. It is made from rice flour, fresh coconut milk and yeast. In this recipe I use small moulds to cook them instead of a non-stick appam pan.I lightly beat four eggs and used a spoon to scoop in the egg.

Palappam is an extended version of plain appam or vella appam recipe to which grated coconut is added while grounding. later the fermented batter is poured to bowl shaped pan to yield a bowl shaped pancake’s.i would like to share few tips and recommendations to be considered while preparing kerala palappam recipe. firstly, i have used idli rice in this recipe for better fermentation and result. you can use normal day to day rice like sona masuri but i heavily recommend to use idli rice for better result. secondly, as mentioned previously fermentation is key process. but if you are living in a cold region, you can place the batter in preheated oven to hasten the fermentation process. lastly, you can store the fermented batter in refrigerator for about 2-3 days and scoop out only required amount of batter to prepare spongy appam recipe.

One of my favorite dish.Ghee Appam is a Tea snack made from rice, jaggery, ripe banana, pinch of salt, fresh grated coconut, roasted sesame seeds and cardamom powder fried in ghee.It as a prasad from Lord Ayyappa.Crispy on the outside and a soft inside with a yummy😋 banana flavor.

This is a must try recipe and can be served as it is,rolled or folded.It is a Malaysian famous food they served this with malaysian style chicken curry where as in india they serve this with vattalappam.#cookmybook

#goldenapron #nonindianSteamed jackfruit rice cake is prepared with ripe jackfruit and trust me it is so yummy any soft to eat. The major ingredient used over is from my parents garden, the jackfruit, coconut and banana leaves. This is one of traditional recipes from Kerala that is not commonly made nowadays due to fast life and no time. I love to keep up my tradition so whenever I am in my parents house I do make it a point to maximum use all vegetables and fruits from our garden.

Jackfruits are high- fibre,vitamin and mineral rich fruit.It can be consumed afresh as delicious fruit .It can as well be used for making varieties of dishes. I have enjoyed eating this jackfruit dumbling prepared by my mum in vazhanayila in my child hood . Now whenever jackfruits are available ,those memories instigate to me to prepare this snack which is best enjoyed by my friends and my whole family. Very tasty natural food with sweet aroma..of vazhanayila

This is a slightly spicy south-Indian inspired simple chicken curry made without coconut.

This coconut chutney is comforting and can pair with any South Indian dishes. Soft idlis paired with creamy coconut chutney – a timeless South Indian classic that never fails to comfort.

#mysterybox1 #week1 #coconutI love fish...anyone else?? This is a very tasty and spicy fish curry made the Mangalorean style. The base of curry is naturally coconut as South Indian cuisine is primarily coconut based.
