Appam - NO Coconut

    I  really wanted to have the heading as " Coconut Less "; i know it is a bit of  something you might be wondering on; well nothing much to think on,  as we mention in some recipes as ' Egg Less ' i wanted to do the same. Then even i really started getting confused , so i edited the name to ' NO Coconut ".  Appam  a Kerala breakfast dish  is again a favourite at home, there are many versions of Appams; Kallappam ( Kallu means Toddy ) , Palappam ( Palu means Milk ) and many more. Appam batter usually contains Grated coconut or Coconut milk, but this recipe  is one even without Coconut water, nor grated coconut.
