Ingredients:

  • 1 cup raw rice
  • 1/2 cup jaggery crushed / powdered
  • 2 nos cardamom
  • 1 small banana
  • water as needed
  • oil to deep fry

Instructions:

  • To a pan add jaggery and water. First heat it up. In the first place make jaggery syrup ready as it has to cool down for later use.
  • Dissolve jaggery completely. No need to check for any consistency. Set aside to cool.
  • Soak raw rice in water for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, rinse it well and drain water completely. Add a banana cut roughly along with cardamom powder.
  • Grind this first to a coarse mixture without adding any water.
  • After that strain the jaggery syrup into the mixer.
  • Grind it to a fine paste. Sprinkle little water if needed while grinding.Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl.
  • Add little water to the batter.
  • Mix well to form a smooth flowing batter for instance like dosa batter consistency. Do not make the batter runny otherwise the appams will drink more oil.Therefore be very careful while adding water grinding and also after.
  • Now the appam batter is ready. Use a deep curved laddle for puring into hot oil to get even sized round appams.In  addition, you can add coconut grated or coconut pieces into this batter.
  • Finally heat oil in a kadai - add to preheated oil.
  • It will rise up puffing after few seconds. When the edges become golden, flip over.
  • Fry until reddish brown on both the sides. Fry in medium flame.
  • Once evenly browned, remove and drain it in tissue paper.
  • Likewise repeat to finish and make the other appams too.
