Apom (coconut bread)




Apom (Coconut bread)

Ingredients:


  • 2 cup uncooked rice-soak 3 hours

  • 1 cup of cooker rice - soak 3 hours

  • thick coconut milk for blend- 2 cups

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • salt

How to make apom:



  1. First, you have to blend the rice and uncooked rice with the coconut milk till smooth.The batter should be as melted ice cream (the thickness). Add water if necessary.

  2. Then, pour the batter into a plastic Tupperware and make sure it is just half of the Tupperware.

  3. Leave it for about 9 - 10 hours so that the batter will rise up to 3/4 of the Tupperware. Please check at the 8 hours of rest. Do not over rest it. If so the batter will turn it's taste.

  4. When it's ready to cook, put some salt and 1/2 tsp of baking soda and stir well and after 10 minutes it is ready to make.

  5. Take a frying pan and put 1 big scoop of the batter and move around the edge and cover it till cooked.

  6. The cooked apom is brownish at the all edge. It is delicious to eat with any curry or even with the thin coconut milk added sugar.

hi there,

thanks for trying out my recipe.

I have few ways of getting around this sticking apom problem.

1. Use an non-stick apom pan. (Tip: Buy a good non-stick, it will last you ages..)


2. if you dont have non-stick, then fry an egg first in the pan, before you start making the apom.

3. if you happen to a vegetranian, then regular oil the pan (use sparingly, I use sunflower oil, it is healthy and does not make the food look oily).

let me know if this works, happy cooking
