Nei appam alias Unni appam is a Kerala's delicacies. Usually, the rice is soaked, ground and the appam is made. But nowadays many make it in many different ways. Even I make this appam with wheat flour, banana, and sweetener. I want to make the authentic appam and tried it this week for an evening snack. Since this batter no need for fermentation I soaked in afternoon, ground and made it in the evening. As the name says they use ghee alone to make it but here I have a mix of both ghee and oil.

how to clean a burnt vessel (video included)



Last week I left my milk pot in low flame and went out. I thought I have switched off but when I returned back it was a disaster. The milk has all burnt up resulting a vessel totally charred. Initially
I thought I need to trash the vessel, later after seeing some videos I tried this method and it worked. It is so easy just any washing powder you use to wash the cloth is needed. The next time when accidentally burn a vessel try this method.
