Multi-Grain Appam
Appam is a delicacy from the state of Kerala in India. Everyone likes this recipe as it has mild sweet tastes and goes very well with vegetable stew, vegetable tomato stew, chicken stew and egg curry. Traditionally, Appam is prepared using ingredients like rice, coconut milk and yeast. Appam is very easy to make as it uses very limited number of ingredients and proves to be very delicious. This recipe is slightly different from traditional methods as I have used a variety of ingredients. I have used multi-grains (like wild rice, red rice, brown rice, quinoa), oats and whole jowar, then grinded it with yeast and coconut milk. Whole jowar can be found in any Indian grocery store and the mix of the remaining grains is mostly available at HEB or Sprouts. The texture of this Appam is soft like pancakes, very healthy and delicious. Do try this Appam and I am sure everyone in your family will love it, even the kids. 
Chicken Appam Potli
Appam is a popular dish in south India, specifically in Kerala. This recipe is made with rice, fermented using yeast. It’s an easy recipe to prepare and generally served with either vegetable stew, chicken curry or egg curry. To prepare this dish you would need a special Appam pan generally available in Indian stores. I have add a little twist by stuffing the Appam with a chicken filling and giving it a potli shape. For the side, I prepared the slightly sweetened vegetable tomato stew. The taste turned out to be pretty awesome and the potli shape made it look more appetizing. You can also make veg colored Appam using spinach, carrot and beetroot puree.
Vegetable Tomato Stew
Stew is basically a thick soup. Stews are made either veg or non-veg and in various flavors. This recipe is more closer to Kerala’s vegetable stew which has slight sweetness and creamy texture. You can chose the vegetables of your choice as add on. Coconut milk is very important as it gives a rich taste to the stew. The stew goes very well with appam as well as rice.
Tomato Rice
Tomato rice is a popular dish in the Southern part of India. Tomato rice could be very simple or filled with lot of ingredients and flavors. This colorful dish is easy to prepare and perfect for lunch or lunch boxes. One can use either leftover rice from previous night or make a fresh rice. In this recipe I have added some additional ingredients to make it more flavorful. You can adjust the spices according to your taste. Tomato rice goes very well with plain yogurt or raita.
