Ingredients for Egg Hoppers Recipe

  • Eggs as required

  • Rice , soaked 1 1/2 - 2 hours 2 cups

  • Cooked rice 1 cup

  • Fresh coconut , scraped 1 cup

  • White bread , soaked 3-4 slices

  • Sugar 1 teaspoon

  • Soda bicarbonate 1/2 teaspoon

  • Salt to taste

  • Oil to shallow fry

  • Crushed red chillies as required

Method

Step 1

Drain the rice and put into a grinder jar. Add a little water and grind to a smooth paste. Transfer into a large bowl.

Step 2

Put cooked rice and coconut into the mixer jar and add a little water. Soak the bread slices, squeeze extra water out and put them into the jar. Add a little more water and grind to a smooth paste. Add this paste to the rice paste and mix well.

Step 3

Keep the bowl in a warm place overnight to ferment.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick appam kadai. Add sugar, baking soda and salt to the batter and mix well.

Step 5

Drizzle a little oil into the kadai and wipe it with a tissue. Pour a ladle full of batter into the kadai and swirl it around to spread the batter all around. Some batter will settle in the centre.

Step 6

Break an egg and put it in the centre of the appam, cover and cook.

Step 7

When the edges turn golden and separate from the kadai, lift the appam and place it on a serving plate. Make more hoppers similarly

Step 8

Serve it hot with vegetable ishtew or chicken ishtew.
