Nei appam is one of the traditional dish made in our homes for Gokulashtami, aavani avittam, Ganesh chaturthi, karthigai deepam and also for navaratri neivedyam. We usually make it with wheat flour or soak rice and ferment it for few hours. Nei appams | unniappams are very popular in Kerala cuisine. I have posted many versions of nei appam in Jeyashris kitchen. Always I get requests from readers to post simple and easy recipes during the festival season.
