Kallappam is a breakfast item in Kerala, South India.The main ingredient is "naadan kallu"-toddy from palm/coconut tree.In places where toddy is not available you could make your own kallu in some similarity. Add 5-6 tbsp of sugar in 1 cup of coconut water and leave it in a warm place for 2 days. Another alternative is yeast which will help the batter to ferment.
Ingredients
- Long grain rice – 4 cup = 1 kg .Soak in water for 3-4 hours, prior to grinding.
- Whole fresh grated coconuts- 2
- Cumin seeds – 1 ½ tsp
- Onion – 1 medium sized-preferably shallots for taste
- Garlic- 1 clove
- Coconut water- 1/2 cup. I have mixed 4 spoons of sugar the previous day so that it could give a better taste.
- Fast action dried yeast- 1tsp. For 1 kg rice we will use 1 tsp of yeast. When using this form of yeast , we could make kallapams within 2- 3 hours. If you are using normal yeast , kallapams could be made within 6-8 hours.If nadan kallu is available you do not have to use yeast.
- Salt- according to taste.
