Wash and soak the urad dal, poha and methi seeds together.( If using cooked rice, no need to soak it.Grind it along with rice). Soak everything for two hours. Grind the urad dal mixture first adding enough water( Add coconut water if you have). Remove in a wide bowl. Then grind the rice ( & cooked rice)adding enough salt and water. Remove and mix the batters together using your hand. Allow it to ferment overnight. The next day batter would have raised well. Add sugar to it and mix well. Add little water to adjust the consistency of batter if it is too thick. Just 10-15 minutes before making aapam,add the Eno fruit salt. Mix well and set aside. Make sure Eno is fresh and active. U should see some small bubbles in the batter after you add Eno. Heat a non-stick aapam kadai/skillet and pour 1.5 ladle of batter in the center. Swirl the kadai so that the batter spreads evenly in the corners. Make sure the center part is thick and the corners are thin. Drizzle a tsp of cooking oil. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the flame After few minutes, aapam would have cooked well with bubbles on top. Remove with a slotted ladle. Serve hot with coconut milk,chutney,stew or mixed veg kurma. NOTE For variations,use 1/2 cup of urad dal for the above recipe without using poha or cooked rice.This is my friend’s actual recipe.I have tried this way too.It comes out well. U can add 1/4 cup of thin coconut milk to adjust the consistency of the batter instead of water. It tastes good with mild coconut flavour. U can also replace Eno with 2 pinches of cooking soda if u don’t have them in hand. Use non-stick appa kadai to make appams easily.
