Aapam is one of my favorite tiffin and I would like to make variations in it , to try different versions of it. This time, I tried making aapam without coconut powder or coconut milk, yeast or baking soda.
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Serves : 2 to 3 people
INGREDIENTS:
Any Raw Rice - 1 cup( I used Sona masoori rice)
Idli Rice / Boiled Rice - 1 cup
Whole White Urad dal - 1/2 cup
Salt - as required
Methi seeds- 1 teaspoon
Eno Fruit salt - 1 teaspoon
Sugar - 1/2 teaspoon
METHOD:
1. Soak both rice separately along with methi seeds in water , overnight. Next day, soak urad dal for two hours.
2. Grind the rice first, along with methi seeds, with less water in to a smooth batter. Then grind urad dal in to a smooth paste. Now mix the rice and urad dal batter. Also add required salt.
3. Allow the batter to ferment and rise up. It may take 5 to 6 hours. Once the batter rise up, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and mix well.
4. 10 to 15 minutes before making aapam, add eno fruit salt and also required water and mix well. You can see some small bubbles in the aapam , after you add Eno. The batter should be little thinner than regular dosa batter , so that it will be easier to spread it on the aapam pan.
5. Heat the Aapam pan, and pour the batter and rotate it , so that it spread evenly on the sides. Pour some oil, cover and cook it.
6. Once it is cooked, no need to flip to the other side. Serve with peanut chutney, vegetable stew or any side dish of your choice.

NOTES:
1. If you dont have Eno fruit salt, you can use 2 pinches of baking soda.
2. If you like coconut flavor, after the batter ferments, you can add 1/4 cup of thin coconut milk for a slight coconut flavor.
3. You can replace 1/2 cup of whole white urad to ---> 1/4 cup of thin poha or cooked rice & 3 tablespoon urad dal. No need to soak poha for grinding.
