Ingredients
- 1 cup raw rice levelled
- 2 to 3 tablespoon urad dal heaped
- 2 tablespoon moong dal
- 2 tablespoon channa dal
- 1 cup jaggery
- 4 tablespoon coconut
- a pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- Take 1 cup raw rice heaped then level it well. Keep a plate under to collect the extras.
- Add 2 -3 tablespoon whole urad dal heaped (do not level it). Now take only the cup measure and add to a bowl. Do not use the rice and dal collected in plate. Add moong dal to it.
- Add channa sal to it. Soak in water for atleast 1 hour.
- Rinse at least twice or thrice then add to mixer jar. Add 1 tablespoon water or little more. Do not add more water, the batter should be thick.
- Grind to a slightly coarse paste then add jaggery and coconut. Grind it well .Do not water now. Jaggery will make the batter loose so keep an eye while adding water.
- Add batter to mixing bowl - add cardamom powder and a pinch of salt. Mix well. It should be in pourable consistency.
- Heat oil in a pan add a ladle full of batter. Let it rise up.
- Now turn over and cook , turn both sides and cook till reddish brown. Repeat to finish the batter.
- Kandarappam keeps well at least for 3-5 days in room temperature.

Notes
- I used a small shallow curved kadai to fry so fried only one at a time.
- If you want to make 3-4 kandarappams at a time then use a wide bottomed kadai.
- While grinding the soaked ingredients add very little water as after adding jaggery it will loosen the batter so add accordingly.If the batter is too loose then it may drink lots of oil.
