Aapam

     As my blog name implies, i can tell, saturday was my recipe excavating day :) As we tried Spicy Chicken Masala I also tried "Aapam" This is my hubby's favorite dish but didnt try this recipe so far, finally and successfully tried this dish in my new Aapam kadai. The outcome was very good except the first aapam.:D Its b'cos it got sticked in the pan, as it was the new one. What i did was, i just poured a half spoon of oil into the pan and made it to spread across. Even my kid liked it, i guess. Even now am thinking how much my hubby's intake count :D So, heres my another new tried recipe.
