Vattayappam / Steamed Rice Cake

Vattayappam is traditional kerala dish.It is quite a simple dish.In kannur many of them use Kallu /Toddy instead of Yeast ..But here in u.a.e we dont get toddy,he he he he he so i used yeast.It is sweet and delisious and doesn’t need any side dish along with it.It is also served as a snack.
Ingredients:
Raw rice – 2 cups
Cooked rice  – 1 cup
Grated coconut – 1 cup
Sugar – 1/4 cup or use it accordingly
Yeast – 1/2 tsp
Salt – a pinch
Roasted Cashews and Raisins – as needed (Optional)
Cardamom powder – a pinch

Method :-
1.Soak the rice in water for 5-6 hours and drain it.
2.Grind this with grated coconut,sugar and cooked rice adding just enough water to a smooth batter.
3.Be careful while adding water,the batter should not be very watery.


4.Add the yeast and salt and mix well together.
5.Cover it with a lid and keep it in a warm place for 8 – 10 hrs to ferment.
6.Just before preparing,check the sugar and also add cardamom powder.
7.Gently stir it and keep it aside.Grease a flat pan or idly mould with little oil and spoon in the fermented batter.Top it with cashews and raisins.
8.Cover and let it cook for 10-12 minutes.
