Rava Appam Recipe

Rava Appam is a quick sweet snack made using rava, wheat flour and sugar. This is one of the easiest appams you can try at home, even if you are not much into deep frying. It is crispy outside, soft inside and has a nice flavor from coconut and cardamom. Perfect for festivals or when you get sudden guests at home.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup fine rava
  • ¼ cup wheat flour
  • ¼ cup maida
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon coconut grated
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon cooking soda
  • 1 tiny pinch salt
  • water as needed
  • oil to deep fry

Instructions

  • Take rava in a mixing bowl, add water till immersing level, water should not float. Set aside for an hour. This time is very essential for a crispy and layered Rava sweet appam.
  • After an hour add wheat flour and maida, then sugar to rava mixture.
  • Add water to it and mix well to form a thickish batter, more like idli batter consistency.
  • Add coconut, cardamom powder, baking soda and salt , mix well.
  • Heat oil - spoon the batter and add it to the kadai.Use a deep curved laddle / spoon to get round shaped appams. Do not crowd , it will puff up well.
  • Cook on both sides till golden brown. Drain in tissue paper.
  • Serve the Rava sweet appam hot / warm to enjoy the flavor!

Notes

  • Soak rava well – I usually soak for at least one hour. This helps it to become soft and absorb other ingredients well.
  • Use thick batter – Make sure batter is like idli batter. If it is too runny, the appams won’t puff and will drink more oil.
  • Add soda at last – I add baking soda just before frying. Do not rest the batter after that.
  • Use deep ladle – I use a curved deep spoon to pour batter into oil. This gives round shape and helps it to puff up.
  • Fry in medium flame – Do not fry in high flame, outside will brown fast but inside stays uncooked.
