The popular palappam from Kerala gets a healthy update with Atta Palappam! Instead of rice or maida, this recipe uses whole wheat flour (atta), a healthy, fibre-rich substitute. Use Aashirvaad Superior MP Atta (100% wheat, 0% maida) to make a consistently soft batter that turns out lacy appams. The distinctive texture and subtle sweetness come from the rice flakes and coconut. The smell of fresh, golden appam will quickly fill your kitchen; there’s no need to soak or wait overnight, simply mix and ferment for an hour.
Atta Palappam is ideal for those hectic mornings, quick evening meals, or moments when you want comfort food with a nutritious spin.
