Hi all,
Can anyone pls let me know where I can find raw rice(for making appam) in Singapore... Or is there any other substitute for it(like Shoba suggested thai rice for pongal instead of raw rice & it turned out great)...
Thanks in adv...:)
I always thought that maida and plain flour/all purpouse flour are the same. :? Atleast I substitue one for the other without any change in texture or taste(well nither of them have any taste or flavour :wink: ). Only diff I noticed is that the 'maida' that I by from Indian stores is not as white as the the plain flours from the supermarket. But neither maida nor palin flour have much nutritional value in them, so I use them sparingly........Quote:

I couldn't find raw rice in Mustafa ... I've seen appam in most kerala restaurents(& other restau's too)... so was wondering where they get the rice from... broken rice- will give it a try... Thanks, tomato...:)
hi Tomato, thanks for the reply. I have been using plain flour so far for all maida recipes as well, but since stranger pointed out that they are not the same I wanted to give that a try!
what goes well with aappam? other than coconut milk and vadai curry. can any one help?
kavitha
appam and egg roast or appam and chicken/mutton/potato stew is the regular combination what we have. i have heard of appam and kadala curry, but have never tried that
Anju
Appam with egg korma is an xcellent combi... Had it at one of our friends place... She said appam goes well with most curries that uses coconut milk as the base...
Thanks anju and dev. We don't eat meat but eat egg. so try egg kurma and egg roast. by the way what is egg roast? is it omlette? also whats stew?
