Masala Appam is a savory version of the traditional appam, where a spicy and flavorful masala is added to the batter. The masala is made with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices like turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala. The batter is prepared by grinding soaked rice and fenugreek seeds, and then mixed with the masala. The appams are cooked until they are crispy on the edges and soft in the center. Masala appam is often served with coconut chutney or tomato chutney.
