Looking for an egg recipe idea that's both delicious and easy to make? Egg Appam might be just what you need! This South Indian egg recipe combines a soft, fluffy appam with a perfectly cooked egg on top, making it a favourite among many.

Egg Appam has its roots in Kerala, where Appam is a traditional breakfast. Made from fermented rice batter, Appam is loved for its light and airy texture. The addition of an egg on top has made this dish even more popular, as it adds a rich flavour and a boost of protein, making it a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup raw rice (soaked for 4-5 hours)
  • 1/4 cup cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup grated coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon yeast (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 eggs
  • Oil for greasing

Instructions:

  • Make the Batter: Blend the soaked rice, cooked rice, grated coconut, and sugar with a little water until smooth. The batter should be slightly thicker than the pancake batter.
  • Ferment the batter: Add yeast if you want quicker fermentation, then let the batter sit overnight or for 6-8 hours until it ferments. Add salt before cooking.
  • Cook the Appam: Heat a non-stick pan, lightly grease it, and pour a ladleful of batter in the centre. Swirl the pan to spread the batter thin around the edges, leaving the centre thicker.
  • Add the Egg: Once the edges are crisp, crack an egg into the centre of the appam. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the egg is done to your liking. 
  • Serve: Carefully remove the Egg Appam from the pan and enjoy it hot with your favourite chutney or curry.
