Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rice flour (chawal ka atta)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (nariyal ka doodh) for serving
Method
- Boil 1 cup of water with salt in a deep pan
- Add the rice flour while stirring continuously till the flour has absorbed all the water. Remove from the flame and knead into a soft dough, using warm water if required.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
- On a wooden board, sprinkle a little water. Place each ball on the wooden board and with wet hands, press it evenly to make a round of 75 mm. (3") diameter circle. Keep aside.
- Heat an earthen tava (khapri) and cook the appas on one side on a low flame. When it leaves the sides, turn it on the other side. As it rises, press it along the sides till it puffs like a ball.
- Repeat with the remaining balls to make 5 more appas. Serve hot with coconut milk.

Totally awesome rice based roti. Goes with pickles, subzi and tastes great by itself.

So so good! They came out nice and bubbly and with a pinch of sea salt on top, I couldn''t resist eating the finished rounds while cooking the others! I''m making these again!
