    About Wheat Appam

    Wheat Appam is a favorite at home, it is one of the healthy and quick sweet snack that you can make in no time. You can deep fry them or fry them in paniyaram pan for a healthy alternate.

    This Wheat Appam Recipe uses just basic ingredients that you have in your pantry not even banana but still it comes out so soft and tasty. Do try and let me know how you liked it.

    Mittu is fond of instant neiappam so I make it often sometimes even for her snackbox for her school. During this lock down sometimes when we crave for something to eat after dinner, I make this nei appam and once I forgot to add cooking soda and it was ok not too bad but the texture was not good. So I decided to try deep fried appam with some variations and tada this wheat flour appam without soda and banana came out so good.

    Wheat Appam Ingredients

    • Wheat Flour – Wheat flour is the flour we used to make roti, chapathi. This is the main ingredient for making this healthy sweet appams. I used homemade wheat flour.
    • Rice Flour – You can use homemade rice flour or storebought rice flour too.
    • Jaggery – Choose dark colored jaggery or paagu vellam for best taste and colour.
    • Semolina – Rava or sooji as it is also called, is used for giving a slight crunch / crisp taste to the appams.
    • Cardamom – Cardamom powder is added for flavouring.
