Soak the rice in water for 6 hours, then drain.
Blend the rice, coconut milk, yeast, sugar, and warm water into a smooth batter.
Cover the batter and ferment for 8 hours; bubbles should form.
Mix the salt into the batter, lightly oil the appam pan, and heat it.
Pour a ladle of batter into the pan and swirl the pan to spread it toward the edges.
Cook the appam covered for 3 minutes, until the center is set and the edge crisps; repeat with the remaining batter.
💡 Tip: Ferment the batter for at least 8 hours; if the kitchen is cool, keeping the bowl in the oven with only the light on works well at home.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve appam hot, with vegetable curry or lentil stew if desired, moving it from breakfast to dinner.
