Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rava
• 1/4 cup wheat flour
• 3/4 cup jaggery
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 tsp cooking soda
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
• 2 tbsp coconut grated
• a pinch salt
• ghee as required to fry

Instructions

• Add jaggery to water.Heat it up for 2mins just for the jaggery to get dissolved.Strain to remove impurities.
• Take rava,wheat flour and rice flour in a mixing bowl and whisk it well. Now add strained jaggery syrup and mix well without any lumps.
• Next add water little by little to form a slightly runny batter more like our dosa batter in consistency. Then add grated coconut , cardamom powder, salt mix well and set aside. When you are ready to make the appams lastly add baking soda and mix it well.
• The consistency should be slightly thicker than our dosa batter consistency so adjust water accordingly. Heat paniyaram pan, add 1/2 tsp ghee in each hole of the paniyaram pan, add a laddle full of the batter in each hole. Cook covered for 2-3 mins.
• Turn over to other side and cook for 3 mins until its dark brown. Carefully transfer the paniyarams to a plate and serve hot.Repeat to finish the batter.
• Serve as a teatime snack or for breakfast. In summary this nei appam is easy and quick to make, and ofcourse healthy too.
• If you add more ghee / oil the appams will be evenly fried.If you are hesitant add gingelly oil to fry.As you can see I just greased each hole.
• If you don't have paniyaram pan then make the batter a bit thick and using a deep curved laddle drop the batter in oil and deep fry it.But make only one at a time.
• Instead of grated coconut you can add chopped pieces too.

Notes

• Nei appam should be slightly on the darker shade so keep in low medium flame and fry till reddish brown.
• You can add coconut pieces for the crunch.
• Fine sooji will be great but I used upma sooji only.If you want you can just pulse sooji few times and add.But I find no much difference so use it as such.
• I always use filtered jaggery syrup to remove impurities.
• I added half ghee and half of gingelly oil.You can fry fully in ghee too.
• Salt is added just to lift the sweetness.
• If you add more ghee / oil the appams will be evenly fried.If you are hesitant add gingelly oil to fry.As you can see I just greased each hole.
