Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl.

In the same bowl, add sugar, egg, yeast and water.

Beat the mixture well until it forms a smooth batter.

Add alkaline water to the batter, mix well, cover, and let it sit for 40-50 minutes.

Heat a griddle pan until warm.

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the warm griddle pan.

Spread the batter proportionately using the back of the ladle to form a thin layer.

Cover the pan with a lid and cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface.

Sprinkle a handful of groundnuts and some sugar over the apom.

Add a tablespoon of margarine and some cream-style sweet corn.

Cover and cook until the apom begins to harden.

Remove from the pan and fold it in half.

Serve immediately.
