Preparation
Step 1
For preparing Bread Oothappam, first mix together rava, curd, salt, soda powder, green chillies, ginger and chopped coriander and set aside for 2-3 hours. The paste should not be too liquid or too thick.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onions to the rava paste.
Step 3
Heat a tava. Keep 1 slice of bread on the tava. Now spread the mixture on the slice. Simmer the gas and cook in low flame turning it over. Make Bread Oothappam crisp by using oil on both sides.
Step 4
Repeat the above procedure for all the breads.
Step 5
Serve Bread Oothappam hot with tomato ketchup and coriander chutney.
Tip
The fermented batter is the heart of good appam. Give it at least 8 hours to rise — overnight is best. The slight sourness is what makes appam special.
