This is an authentic Mangalorean appam recipe.
Appam is a variety of dosas, which is prepared with fermented rice batter. There are many versions of making appam.
The traditional method uses Toddy, a natural fermenting agent taken from coconut or palm trees.
Since Toddy is not easy to find in cities, it can be replaced with yeast to ferment. But the taste of appam made with toddy tastes better.
In the recipe, I have also added an egg, which is optional. The egg gives a good texture and tastes better.
