Appam Batter



Ingredients:

Raw Rice-3cup
Idly Rice-1 cup
Steamed Rice-1 cup
Urad Dhal-3/4th cup
Coconut-1 cup

Batter:
Soak Raw rice, Idly rice, Urad Dhal alltogether for minimum 4 hours.
Grind coconut separately in mixer jar.

Add steamed rice in the grinder and keep it on for few seconds.
Strain the soaked items and add it in 3 portions.
Once the batter is almost ready finally add salt as required,coconut paste and grind.
Leave it over night for best results and to avoid using any products for fermentation.

In the morning stir the batter properly and add enough water to have a gravy consistency.
The consistency helps a lot in getting a thin appam.
Once the appam pan is hot pour a scoop of batter in the center, hold the pan on both sides and tilt as required to make the batter move in circles. Close the lid and cook.

Note: Do not spread the batter with the scoop in the pan.

To make egg appam beat the egg with salt aside, leave the appam to be half cooked and then add egg.
Repeat the tilting motion to spread the egg.Sprinkle pepper and close the lid.

Krishna Mural

I know the picture quality could have been much better.The mural has a hefty frame work and is double nailed to the wall. Clueless about how to click a picture nailed high to the wall and with a mirror background which reflects. Now that all the excuses are said,( which can be expected for almost 50 pictures, since its all dated at least 5 years back.)Starting with being thankful to the guru who taught me,let me mention few things about this mural.

Mosaic design fish

For those who aren't very familiar with the freehand and other techniques in ceramic painting this  mosaic inspired fish design comes in with out a challenge.All we need majorly is a tile of your choice that is available.Choose any light color to make it more attractive and it leaves us with more imagination in the choice of colors. This art work could be framed, plastered onto a rough wall like a collage work and most importantly leaves us with a choice of fixing it anywhere without a necessity of safeguarding it much like a glass although this too is a object that could brittle. Materials: Ceramic Paint kit Brushes- Flat brush can be avoided at a beginner level. Palette Method: Draw the outlines using a pencil.Using a normal pencil is of great advantage as erasing is much easier without leaving any marks behind. Now the only task left behind is making small squares out of the brush. Playing with light and dark of a single colour gives a good depth to an
