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.

Green Egg Curry

Egg curry is a simple and easy recipe however  there are many variations. Green egg curry is slightly different then normal.  Green egg curry prepared using baby spinach, corn and Indian spices. Boiled roasted eggs in to spinach and tomato green curry gives a nice color compliment to the dish and taste delicious. Egg curry goes very well with rice or paratha or naan. This curry recipe can be used for paneer or tofu.
