In a heavy bottom pan take rice rava and water mix well and cook in alow flame till it become soft and leave aside
In a other big bowl add (make sure that this bowl is much more enough for fermentation the batter should not over flow)in this bowl take cooked rice rava,thin coconur milk mix well and add rice flour to this and mix well to make a fine paste.(for this process you can use electric blender or eggbeater) beat for 20- 25 sec. then add yeast mixture mix well now add thick coconut milk mix once again well (don't use electric blender after adding the yeast just mix with a spoon )this should be like a ootappam consistency and leave it for fermentation for over night or for 6-8 hours
Now next day moening or after 8 hours add cooking soda mix well, heat a Appam pan in mediun flame pour 11/2 ladle batter and just turn the Appam pan with your hands(holding the both side handles) in a clock wise motion spread the batter in to a circle and bring the left over batter in to the center and cover with lid and cook 3-4 min.(don't flip the Appam)
