Appams are delicious Kerala Style breakfast made out of fermented rice-coconut batter. But this is an instant version where I made use of some store bought idli / dosa batter and eno fruit salt to make it the easier way.

They are prepared in a special pan called an Appam Chetti and are traditionally had with veg. or non-veg. stew. But these nutritious appams are made with spinach puree and relished with some mixed vegetable curry.
