Whole Wheat(Gothambu) Paalappam | Laced Wheat Pancakes with Coconut Milk

Paalappam/Laced rice pancakes is a traditional Kerala breakfast dish prepared with rice and coconut milk.'Paal' refers to coconut milk and 'appam' refers to the pancake in malayalam.It is usually served with  stew/curries (listed below).I had posted the recipe of traditional paalappams sometime back,if you remember.But how about a wheat paalappam(pancake) with all the softness and flavors of coconut milk.I made both wheat paalappam and the traditional paalappams (updated old pics) the same day and the only difference that I found was the color,these have a brownish tinge otherwise they taste almost similar to the traditional ones.We had it with a simple chicken curry and loved it.If you wish to enjoy a different color paalappam,then do give these a try !!!

Servings~ 6 appams

NOTES
* Don't over ferment the batter more than 5 hours.
* I used regular Ashirvad atta /wheat flour for making this.
* It tastes just like rice paalappams and is distinctively changed with its color.
* These ones don't require pav kachiyathu /cooked rice step.
* Increase the quantity of ingredients by keeping the ratio same as per your requirements .
