Notes
You can skip cooked rice and increase the poha to ¾ cup.
You can add whatever leftover rice you have to make the appam soft.
Grinding in mixie is easy and quick.
Adding baking soda is optional and I have tried without baking soda and still they come out good
It takes time to cook and always cook in low flame.
You can spread the batter with thick center or thin porous crispy appams as per your choice.
