Hai guys, sorry, for not logging for sometime.
Not well and heavy workload.
I have some good news for every one.
Kugan is much better and is out of all medical follow ups.
She is in a ashramam, for her inner peace.
She will be back in Malaysia, one month ahead of her plan.
I am so happy for her, even though she dashed my hopes of seeing her.
I will be back soon to answer everyone.
Meerra

There is the recipe
Prawn - 1/4 kg

Onion - 1.5
garlic - 3 pods
ginger - 3/4 inch
Green chillies - 3 long
tomato - 2 small
coconut thuruval - 2 tbspn
pepper corns - 1 tbsp
sombhu - 1/2 tsp
Thaalippu ingredients
Oil - 2 tbsp
curry leaves - 1 kotthu for the nice aroma
cloves - 4

Powders
manjal thool - 1 tsp
shakthi masala chilly pwd or homemade - 2 tspns or less as we have added green chillies n pepper alreasy
coriander - 1 tbspn
Garnish
coriander leaves
lemon juice
Method
First add 2 tspns of oil and add the "To grind ingredients" until green chillies one by one and fry well until
the raw smell of onions disapper. Now add tomatoes and saute until they are mushy. Once u notice the oil seperating
add coconut thuruval, pepper corns and sombu and fry them not more than 1 minute. Cool this down and grind it into
a smooth paste
Marinate the prawn with little salt and turmeric and set aside while the above is cooling down
Now take a kadai and add the thaalippu ingredients. U should get the nice aroma of curry leaves and cinnamon.
At this stage add the ground paste and stir for few seconds.Dont stir too much as we have done agood amount of frying
in the earlier stages. Add all the powders and salt to taste. When the raw smell of powders disapper add the marinated prawns and upto 2
cups of water. Check the consistency that u need and add extra or less water.
Simmer the gravy for 20- 30 minutes. Check the prawns by tasting. If the masalas have not sunk in simmer for some more time.
Garnish with coriander leaves and lemon juice

I tried aapam last night and it was a major flop in terms of the looks. Taste was great though.
Help pls

foolproof method
soak rice overnight (kurnai arisi is perfect)
next day grind rice with coconut milk
add salt (and sugar if you want sweet appam)
next take a tsp of dried yeast and add to warm water & some sugar)
15 mins later when its frothy, add to your rice mixture
leave mixture to ferment for 8 hours.
make super soft and fluffy appams :D

Nov ... could you also give me the proportions of rice n coconut milk too ? It would be helpful
dev, man chatti appam is also a dying tradition here. did you notice the charcoal aduppu? also the cooking style, where they place a chatti with hot coals on top of the chatti which is cooking the appam.
:sigh2:
nithisri, I am of the old school where everything is based on kai-alavu ie rough estimates. :(
what you need to do is mix both first paal and 2nd paal - the constituency of the mixture must not be too thick or too thin. If its too thick after fermenting, you can still add some milk to make it thinner, but stirring should be very minimal.
when you pour the mixture into the chatti, it should flow easily to the sides when you tilt the chatti - that is the correct patham.
I did notice teh charcoal aduppu...but mela irukira chattila coal irukiradhu theriyalai... will try this method here if I get a chance... I think one can do it when they do a BBQ...:)
