Appam

Traditionally, fresh toddy (an alcohol made from the sap of palm trees) is used to ferment the batter for appams. A special type of cast-iron wok called an appam kadai is used to cook these pancakes from the south, but any small nonstick wok will work as well. Just make sure it has a heavy lid. Serve these with kaikari ishtew, lamb ishtew, or kozhi ishtew</
