  • Heat a small appam kadai/non-stick kadai. Coat them with few drizzles of coconut oil the previois night itself. Spoon in 1 tbs of appam batter in the middle of the kadai and gently swirl the pan around to form a thin lacy layer over the sides. A thick layer will be formed at the centre. Drizzle drops of coconut oil along the sides.Cover with a lid and cook for about 2-3min. The edges will get released by itself along the sides. Remove and serve.

  • Using the hands, squeeze out the water and keep aside. If necessary add little more water and grind them in the blender again.
  • Repeat the same by squeezing out the water. Add coconut palm sugar to taste and finally add the cardamom powder.

Notes

Note: The sweetened coconut milk should not be too watery, so accordingly add the water when you grind them for the second time.
