Thanks Nithi for your nice recipe.
I hope every one tries it.
As for aapam recipe, Kugan has already posted a fool proof recipe.
Try and see.
Thanks. Meerra

NOV uncle, thanks for the picture and recipe for aapam.
One small question. In our house, we add little cooked rice while grinding the batter.
My granny used to say that it will make the aapam fluffy.
Do you do that, or the yeast is good enough.
Thanks uncle. Meerra
