Appam

Appam is a traditional Kerala breakfast and dinner staple that has become a beloved accompaniment at Royal Malabar Fine Dine in Indian Cuisine. These delicate rice pancakes are made from fermented rice batter, creating a unique bowl shape with soft, fluffy centers and crispy, lace-like edges. The slightly sweet, mild flavor makes them the perfect canvas for soaking up rich, flavorful curries.

What makes our Appam special is the authentic fermentation process and the skill required to achieve the perfect texture. Each appam is cooked to order in a special curved pan, creating the characteristic bowl shape with crispy edges and a soft center. They're traditionally served with Fish Nirvana, our signature coconut milk-based curry, where the appam's mild sweetness perfectly balances the rich, spiced gravy. Customers describe them as 'soft, lace-edged appams that soak up the creamy, aromatic gravy' beautifully. Also excellent with vegetable stew, chicken stew, or any Kerala curry.
