Vattayappam
Posted by Annita on July 15, 2008
I’ve been getting so many requests to post a recipe for Vattayappam.So here it comes…
Back in my home,this is a regular tea time snack,but i’ve seen families serving this for breakfast along with Fish molly ,spicy curries ,stews etc.
Ingredients :-
Raw rice – 2 cups
Cooked rice (preferabbly rosematta rice cooked ) – 1 cup
Grated coconut – 1 cup
Yeast – 1/2 tsp
Sugar – 1/4 cup or use it accordingly
Salt – a pinch
Roasted Cashews and Raisins – as needed (Optional)
Cardamom powder – a pinch (Optional :-Personally,I like it better without this)
Method :-
Soak the rice in water for 5-6 hours and drain it. Grind this with grated coconut,sugar and cooked rice adding just enough water to a smooth batter.Be careful while adding water,the batter should not be very watery,it has to be in the consistency of idly batter.Add the yeast and salt and mix well together.Cover it with a lid and keep it in a warm place for 8 – 10 hrs to ferment.
Just before preparing,check for the sugar and also add cardamom powder if you’re using it.Gently stir it and keep it aside.Grease a flat pan or idly mould with little oil and spoon in the fermented batter.Top it with cashews and raisins.
Steam it for 15 mts in a medium heat or until it is done.
Allow it to cool in the pan for 20 mts and gently take it out .
Tip :- For soft vattayappams,carefully spoon only the foamy part from the top of the fermented batter into the pan.Stir the rest of the batter well and again allow it to ferment.With 20- 25 mts,it will ferment again and you’ll get a foamy batter on top.
Check out Maria’s Vattayappam here
Update :- Instead of sugar,you can also use jaggery.Just heat the jaggery adding little amount of water and allow it to melt completly.Pour it through a sieve and collect the melted jaggery in a bowl.Allow it to cool and then add it to the batter .Again be careful about the consistency of the batter,it should be similar to idly batter.

hey anita,
great blog.
instead of steaming it, i usually micro wave it. abt 10 mins in the oven in a greased dish.
makes the job far more easier.
Yeah …div…thats a good way …
Let me try that next time..Thank you

prince said
hai everybody,
Real taste of vatteppam was adulterated, since it was commercialized by bakeries in kerala. Real vatteppam was made out from soaked rice, fresh sherred coconut, suger and fresh toddy. other spices deviates the taste from the original taste. It is to be steam cooked.
