Easy,Instant Nei Appam Recipe-Gokulashtami Recipes

Every year i plan to post gokulashtami recipes in advance but it never happened . I am happy this year i could make it at least 4 days in advance.I started our janmashtami/krishna jayanthi celebration with this easy n quick nei appam recipe..I’ll blog vella seedai & uppu seedai in the upcoming post.
I usually make appam using wheat flour & banana .My MIL also makes an appam using raw rice which is our family favourite.But I wanted to try a quick appam recipe without soaking rice & using banana . When i was going through my cook books i got this recipe given by Mrs. Mallika badrinath. I tried the recipe as such but i was not happy with the result.It came out crispy  & tasty but it looked dry & a bit hard . So I just added little cooking soda & it made a great change to the recipe. It came out super soft n fluffy with crispy outer layer..I was very happy & thought of blogging it for gokulashtami..With superb flavor of ghee ,it was awesome.If u r ghee conscious like me , use oil for frying.. . It tasted good for both..I used paniyaram pan for shallow frying. U can also try deep frying , it looks like chettinad vellai paniyaram. with flower edges.U can see that picture in step by step clicks..Friends , do try this easy appam recipe for krishna jayanthi & let me know ur feedback..

Easy nei appam

Easy nei appam recipe using rice flour and rava for gokulashtami and karthigai deepam

Cuisine: Indian Category: Sweet Yields: Serves 3

Prep Time: 5 Minutes Cook Time: 10 Minutes Total Time: 15 Minutes

INGREDIENTS
1 cup-200ml

For batter Store bought rice flour – 1/3 cup Fine Rawa / sooji – 1/2 cup Wheat flour OR Maida – 1/2 cup Grated jaggery – 1 cup Grated coconut – 3 tbsp Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp Cooking soda – 1/4 tsp Salt – a pinch Cooking oil or ghee – As needed Water – approx 1.25 – 1.5 cups

METHOD

In a wide bowl , take all the ingredients mentioned above & mix well adding required water..The consistency of batter should be semi thick & pourable. In a paniyaram pan , add 1/2 tsp of ghee in each hole & pour the batter. Cover cook for few minutes in medium flame. Flip it using a spoon or a small stick like thing ..cook again for few minutes till u get a nice golden brown color.. If u want to deep fry , heat a pan with little oil & pour the batter using a small ladle & deep fry one by one to get a nice shape. Remove & serve hot or cold.

Note

Consistency of batter is important..It should not be too thick or thin. U can also use cooking oil instead of ghee. I used ghee for my daughter & oil for ourselves.But add it generously.. Always cook in medium flame else it will be burnt..I felt the color of appam turned darker for ghee than oil.  This appam stays soft for long time. It tastes crispy when hot & soft when cold.. If u want to skip adding soda , u have to add 1 ripe mashed banana. If u want the appam to be crispy & not soft , skip soda & try. But u should eat it really hot otherwise it will look dry..
