    Method
  1. Wash and soak the rice for 2 to 3 hours. Drain.
  2. Grate the coconut, add 2 cups of water and extract the coconut milk. Strain.
  3. Grind the raw rice and cooked rice in a little coconut milk. Remove from the grinder and add the sugar, the remaining coconut milk and salt.
  4. Mix the yeast with a little warm water, add to the rice paste and mix well. The batter should be of dropping consistency.
  5. Cover and keep for 2 to 3 hours. Then add the spinach puree.
  6. Heat an appam kadai or a deep non-stick tava and grease it lightly with oil.
  7. Pour 1 big spoon of the batter into it. Slowly rotate the batter on the tava so that a thin layer forms on the side while the middle remains thick.
  8. Cover and cook for 1 minute. The middle part will be fluffy.
  9. Repeat for the remaining batter.
  10. Serve hot with vegetable stew.
