Ragi Appam or Finger Millet Appam is a nutritious South Indian breakfast made with fermented batter using idli rice, raw rice, poha, urad dal and ragi flour. This yeast-free and coconut-free version yields soft, lace-edged hoppers that pair beautifully with coconut milk, kurma, or stew.
Hello and welcome. I’m Sandhya—the hands, heart, and stories behind Sandyathome This blog was never planned. It began quietly—just like the way my mother and grandmother used to cook. No measurements. No books. Just feeling. Growing up, I didn’t realize I was being shaped by their everyday magic. The gentle clinking of ladles, the warm smell of curry leaves crackling in oil, the quiet hum of love in every dish—they stayed with me. I didn’t inherit written recipes. But I inherited something far deeper—the emotion of cooking, the way food could heal, gather, and speak when words fall short.
