Traditional Kerala Appam is a popular South Indian breakfast dish made with fermented rice batter and coconut milk. It has a soft and fluffy texture with a slightly sweet and tangy taste. The batter is prepared by soaking rice and fenugreek seeds overnight, grinding it into a smooth paste, and fermenting it for a few hours. The fermented batter is then mixed with coconut milk and cooked in a special appam pan, which gives it its unique shape. It is usually served with coconut milk-based curries like vegetable stew or chicken curry.
