Query regarding yeast for Aappam : Urgent reply please
Hi All
Have made the batter for the aappam ready. However, when it came to dissolving the yeast...I am not sure if I have the correct stuff with me. I seem to have yeast crystals (small ball like thing) and not yeast powder....since all the recipes ask me to take a pinch of yeast and dissolve it in water. So...I guess I have a different stuff.
Can I still use these crystals and try dissolving them....and add them to the batter?? Would it make any difference?? Also, when should I add this yeast to the batter for best results??
Batter is waiting.....and I dont wanna waste all the effort tht went into making it...by making a mistake in the last step. Hope you fellow hubbers will help me out....

You can use the crystals. First add a pinch of sugar to little luke warm water, dissolve it fully. Then add the required amount of yeast and dissolve it. Wait until it foams. (May be 5-10 mins)

If toddy (panam kaLLu or thennam kaLLu) is available in your place use it instead of yeast. That is the traditional method.

Hi,
Take quarter cup warm water and dissolve the 2 tsp of sugar in it. Add yeast and let this stay to ferment. Keep it aside, after 20 minutes u add this to the batter.
