Appam & Stew: The Soul of Kerala Cuisine

"Experience the magic of Appam—the lacy, fermented rice pancake with a soft, pillowy center—paired with a creamy vegetable stew."


A Taste of Paradise


Appam is perhaps the most elegant of all South Indian fermented breads. With its paper-thin crispy edges and thick, spongy center, it's a masterpiece of texture and flavor.


The Fermentation Secret

Appam batter often uses a hint of coconut milk or coconut water during fermentation, which gives it a delicate sweetness and an incredibly soft heart.


The Vegetable Stew (Ishtu)

The perfect companion to Appam is a mild, creamy vegetable stew. Made with coconut milk, ginger, green chilies, and whole spices, it's a soothing, aromatic curry that lets the flavor of the Appam shine.
