Method of Preperation
Soak the long grain rice for 4-5 hrs.
Once the rice is soaked, add the cooked rice and grind it in a food processor or blender adding water to get a loosen batter. In a saucepan pour ¼ cup of the batter and 2 cups of plain water. Stir the mixture on medium heat to make porridge.
Add the lightly cooled porridge and yeast to the batter. Mix thoroughly. Keep this mix overnight.
The batter on keeping overnight gets fermented easily. In a mixer bowl crush the scraped coconut, cumin seeds, shallots add garlic and add to the fermented batter.
Add sugar, raisins and salt to the batter and after half an hour in ghee greased plates, pour the batter and steam it. When the vattayappam cools, cut them into diamond shapes.
