Ingredients

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup jaggery heaped
  • 1 tablespoon rice flour
  • 1 small ripe banana optional
  • a generous pinch cardamom powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cooking soda
  • a tiny pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup water for jaggery syrup + as required to make batter
  • oil to deep fry

Instructions

  • To a pan add 1/4 cup jaggery and water. First heat it up. In the first place make jaggery syrup ready as it has to cool down for later use.
  • Mash the banana well with a fork. In a mixing bowl - add wheat flour,rice flour and banana. Then add jaggery syrup.
  • Add a pinch of salt. Mix well, add water little by little to form a smooth thick batter. Whisk it well to avoid lumps.
  • Then add cardamom powder and cooking soda give a quick mix. Do not make the batter runny otherwise the appams will drink more oil.Therefore be very careful while adding water. The batter should be slightly thick as shown.
  • I planned to deep fry in my small tadka pan so used my measuring spoon to scoop the batter.
  • Heat oil in a pan and when its hot pour the batter using a laddle. Make only one at a time else it will stick to each other and get messy.
  • Finally, heat oil in a pan and when its hot, pour the batter using a laddle.
  • Make only one at a time else it will stick to each other and get messy. Likewise repeat to finish and make the other sweet appams too.

Notes

  • If you are using normal kadai for deep frying then use a bigger laddle but make sure the laddle is deep curved one so that you get good round shaped appams.
  • Add enough oil else the appam will not rise up hence add oilatleast to half of the kadai.
  • Banana gives a soft and spongy texture to the appams, and the flavour is amazing.
  • You can even add jaggery as such but I wanted to strain the impurities so made syrup and then added.If you want your appams to be more sweet then add 3/4 cup jaggery.
  • Increase jaggery if your banana is not sweet.
  • You can choose to make this in paniyaram pan too.
