Oil to grease Aapam pan and a little to drizzle on aapam,
Cooked rice – 4 tablesp,
Yeast – 1/8 tsp,

Freshly and finely grated coconut – 4 tablesp,( if fresh not available you can use disiccared coconut powder),
Method:
1).Put all the ingredients (except salt )in a mixie and prepare a fine paste by adding water in batches.The batter should be fine and with out any lumps.
2).Pour the batter into a mixing bowl and keep aside for fermentation for 6hrs or over night.
3).Next day morning , add salt and check consistancy of the batter.It should neither be thin nor thick.
4).Add little water if necessary to make it to aapam batter consistency,
5).Heat a aapam pan and smear a drop of oil and wipe it with clean cloth.Pour a laddleful of batter and swirl it to prepare lacy aapam.If you desire drizzle little oil over aapam. Prepare all aapam in this way.( I prefer to drizzle few drops of oil over aapam ).
