Rice and Coconut Pancakes


ingredients
2 cups Raw Rice, soaked for 4-5 hours
4 cups dessicated Coconut
1 cup Cooked Rice
1 cup Coconut Water
1/2 teaspoon Yeast Granules,
dissolved in some Coconut Water or little hot Water
Salt and Sugar to taste

Method of cooking "Appam (Rice and Coconut Pancakes)"

Drain the soaked rice and grind it along with the coconut and cooked rice to a fine thick paste.Coconut water may be preferably used instead of water for grinding.
Add the yeast and mix lightly.Mix in the salt and sugar to taste.
Allow to ferment at room temperature for at least 6 hours.
Heat a small non-stick wok.Pour approximately half a cup of batter and quickly but gently swirl the pan around such that only a thin layer of the batter covers the sides and a thick layer collects at the bottom.
Cover with a lid and cook each appam on medium heat for about 3 minutes or till the edges have become golden crisp and the center is soft and spongy.
Another sign of doneness would be when the edges start coming off the wok.
