Love appams!! Thank you for sharing this recipe.. wow it's quite a lot of work to make!

Yes, It's so yummy. Super soft and fluffy. It needs fermentation and needs to be prepared ahead. Not so difficult if you have all the ingredients in hand.

If I'm using active dry yeast , how many tsf should I use and also in how many cup of water should I dilute?

Hi Mary, you can dissolve 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast in 1 - 2 tbsp of lukewarm water.

Thanks for pointing it out. I have updated the recipe.

How long should it be left to ferment?

It will take around 8-9 hours to ferment.
