  Priya, I guess this is not the right way but I do it whenever I make appam I get that " appam mavu' less watery than usual appam mavu, add lil more sugar and all these cardamom raisins , nuts etc and bake it in the oven may be around 300- 400 depending on the oven you use . Not sure how many minutes I keep , I just keep checking it every now and then. It came out okay for me although I feel this is almost a pathetic recipie. Hope you get a better recipie which I might as well need too.
  Sree

  Sree, Thanks a bunch for the vattayappam recipe (seems yummy)... I'm really going to try it on Sunday itself. But maybe I'll steam it for 1/2 hr instead of baking it.

  Pour lukewarm water, mix and keep aside to ferment (until froth appears on the surface).
  Mix rice flour and yeast ferment and knead into a soft dough.
  It must be kneaded well for at least 10 minutes.
  Grind coconut, jeera and sugar and add it with water to the dough to make it a stiff batter .
  Keep it over night.
  Add salt and mix well.
  Grease a cake dish or round bottomed aluminium vessel well with ghee.
  Pour the batter into it up to the half way mark.
  Keep it in an iddli steamer and cook for 20 minutes. Take it out from the steamer.
  Loosen the sides with a knife and cut it into pieces.
  
  You can use butter for ghee since us malayalees are not much of ghee users
