  • kidilan Vattayappam...Perfect aytteundutto chechi..Wish u n ur family Happy & Prosperous New Year!!

  • Hello Lissie Auntie,
    How are you? Happy New Year!
    Auntie, can I directly use rice powder instead of soaking the rice and then grinding it? Can I grind coconut, cooked rice, sugar together and then add it to the rice powder with water and mix to form the batter?

    Regards,
    Priya

  • Dear Priya,

    Happy New Year to You, Prashanth and little Ryan!
    Hope you had a wonderful time in your Mom's place...

    You can replace rice with 2 cups of 'fine' rice powder/ appam podi and follow the same recipe. Vattayappam will be more softer if you use soaked rice.

    regards,
    Lissie

  • Dear Lissie Auntie,

    Thank You, yes I did have a wonderful time in Kerala, I prepared chicken stew on Christams and it came out very well :). My mom, bro and his family, everyone liked it. My brother's kids also loved it..

    I soaked rice in the morning so that I can grind it in the evening, thank you for letting me know that soaked rice makes the Vattayappam more soft. Wanted to prepare it for Ryan, he has been introduced to food which has been prepared using your recipes so his taste buds are very demanding ;-) . If the Vattayappam is not soft, he won't have it so I better not take any chances :D

    Love,
    Priya

  • Dear Priya,

    I am flattered to hear that your entire family loved 'Chicken Stew'! So did the 'Vattayappam' come out well? Little Ryan is becoming like my children, I think :))

    hugs,
    Lissie

  • Dear Lissie Auntie,
    Vattayappam came out very well, I never thought I could make Vattayapam like this, it was like how my mom prepares :). Next time we have any guests from Kerala I can make this and impress them ;-)
    We all liked it but little Ryan didn't have much, he just had a couple of pieces, he prefers masala stuff.. not a big fan of sweets..
    I will search more recipes in your link and try to prepare something for him..

    Love,
    Priya
