INGREDIENTS FOR APPAM {1 cup - 250ml }
Fresh/ fermented Idli, dosa batter - 4 cups (I took the batter for making 10 appam.)
Grated coconut – 1 cup OR thick coconut milk - 1/2 to 3/4 cup ( Add based on thickness of batter)
Salt – as needed
Sugar – 1/4 tsp
Cooking soda / bakings soda – 2 pinches ( 1/8 tsp)
INGREDIENTS FOR ONION CHUTNEY –EASY SIDE DISH FOR APPAM
Big Onion – 2 nos
Red chilly – 3-4 nos
Urad dal – 2 tsp
Asafetida /Hing – a pinch
Curry leaves – a sprig ( 10 leaves)
Tamarind – marble size
Oil – 2 tsp
Salt & water – as needed

ONION CHUTNEY : METHOD
Usually we all make vegetable stew for aapam..But this chutney also goes very well..Try this and let me know:)
Heat a kadai with 2 tsp of oil and roast the urad dal ,red chilly with hing.Set aside.
In the same kadai add the sliced onions and saute well.Before switching off the flame just add the curry leaves and toss for a second.Then switch off the flame and cool down.
Now grind the sautéed onion & curry leaves along with roasted items ,tamarind,salt & water …
Flavourful Onion - curry leaves chutney is ready to go with Aapam..

Note :
1.If bubbles does not form in the appam, add little more cooking soda.
2. If the bottom of appam sticks to the pan and doesn’t come out well,it shows coconut milk added is more than the required measure.So add little more idli batter ( Say 1/2 cup) and try it.
