My Mum used to do this for Appam. Hers is with traditional coconut milk and even in the paste it has coconut. Since I normally do it for Appam which is already having coconut milk I substitute coconut milk to soya milk. If you are using Coconut milk adjust the chilli powder. This is one of my favourite
