Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fine rava
  • 1/4 cup wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup maida
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon coconut grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cooking soda - 1/8 teaspoon
  • a 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 hr. This time is very essential for a crispy and layered Rava sweet appam.
  • After an hr 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

  • I made small appams to fit in my kadai.
  • Adding wheat flour is optional.
    You can add maida instead.
  • After adding baking soda,do not let it rest.
    Make the appams at once.
  • If you want to cut down oil,then make it in paniyaram pan.
  • Alternatively you can make in paniyaram pan too instead of deep frying.
