3. Grind the rice in batches and sieve the flour till you get a very fine powder.

avoid lumps) )to form a thin batter and let it cool.

5. Now add the remaining rice powder to the above batter. Add salt and leave it overnight to ferment.

6. Next day, add the required amount of water to prepare a thin batter (A little thinner than dosa batter)

7. Add baking soda, mix well and pour a big ladleful of batter on a thick bottomed greased khadai and rotate

the khadai so that the batter will spread like dosa. The result will resemble the appam of Kerala.
