Steps to prepare Foxtail Millet Appam

  1. Soaking and Prepping
    - Rinse and soak foxtail millet for 4-6 hours. Grind soaked millet with buttermilk to form a smooth batter. Add rice flour gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
  2. Fermentation
    - Mix in grated coconut, baking soda, and salt. Allow the batter to ferment for 6-8 hours, ensuring a light and airy texture.
  3. Appam Preparation
    - Grease the appam pan with a minimal amount of oil and heat it on medium flame. Pour a ladleful of batter into each mold, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  4. Cover and Cook
    - Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat until the edges turn golden brown. Carefully flip each appam using a spatula and cook the other side until crisp and golden.
  5. Serving and Pairing
    - Once both sides are cooked, remove the appams from the pan, and serve them warm. Enjoy these nutritious foxtail millet appams with coconut chutney, coconut milk or a tangy tomato-based sauce.
