Masala Appam is a savory version of the 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 mixing it with the masala. The appam is cooked in the traditional appam pan, resulting in a crispy edge and a soft center. It can be served with coconut chutney or any spicy curry.
