Cooking Tips

• Make sure to soak the flattened rice and rice for at least 4-5 hours to soften them.
• The consistency of the batter should be slightly thick, similar to dosa batter.
• Fermenting the batter overnight helps in making the apam soft and fluffy.
• You can add a pinch of baking soda to the batter for extra fluffiness.
• To make the apam more flavorful, you can add finely chopped onions, green chilies, and curry leaves to the batter.

Storage and Serving

• Aval Apam is best served hot and fresh.
• If you have any leftover apam, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the apam, you can either microwave it for a few seconds or toast it on a hot griddle.
• Serve the apam with coconut chutney, sambar, or any other accompaniment of your choice.
