I have been yearning to make Guri appa ever since I bought this Appam pan from Amazon, and I finally got a chance today. I was so excited to make Guri appa that I woke up really early in the morning (6.00 AM on Sunday is really early for me :)).
Anyways, Guri appa brings back some really sweet memories of my dad getting these appa’s from the Mangalore store and me hogging more than half of them, and my dad more than willingly gave me his share as well. Good old days! The good thing about this recipe is that it makes 48 of these appas, more than enough for everyone 😉
Guri appas are very easy to make and getting the batter to the right consistency probably takes the longest time. I used a stone grinder to get the batter to a thick fine consistency (see pic below). You can always use a blender, but you will have to grind the batter in batches.
