Sweet appam recipe using wheat flour & jaggery for Ganesh chaturthi and Karthigai deepam Cuisine: Indian
Category: Sweet
Serves: 7 nos
Prep time: 5 Minutes
Cook time: 5 Minutes
Total time: 10 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 200ml - Wheat flour - 1/2 cup
- Fully Ripe banana - 1/2 no ( use 1 no if very small in size.Use yelakki/poovazhai or rasthali banana)
- Grated jaggery - 1/4 cup ( add 2 tbsp for more sweet)
- Rice flour - 1 tsp
- Cooking soda - a small pinch
- Salt - a pinch
- Cardamom seeds - 2 no ( crushed)
- Cooking oil - to deep fry
- Water - as needed
|
METHOD
- In a wide bowl,take all the ingredients except oil & water.Mash the ripen banana and add to the flour.Add the required water and make a thick batter.The consistency of batter should be like thick idli batter. It should be pourable.
- Heat oil for deep frying.Use less oil to get a nice round shape.Take a small curved ladle and pour a ladleful full of batter.Make one at a time.Appam should rise slowly from the bottom to top.This is the correct heating point.It helps the appam to cook evenly.If the oil is very hot,appam will brown outside and it doesn’t get cooked internally.So keep the oil at right heating point.First check with a drop of batter and proceed further.
- As soon as the color of appam turns golden brown,flip it and cook the other side till golden brown.Remove & drain in a tissue paper.
Sweet appam is ready to serve.Enjoy !

Note
- For variations,u can add maida & sugar instead of wheat flour & jaggery.
- U can also make spicy version by adding finely chopped onions,ginger,curry leaves,coriander leaves & green chillies along with hing.It tastes great.
- Do not add more cooking soda.Less than a pinch would be enough.Adding more soda makes the appam absorb more oil.
- Banana gives a super soft,spongy texture to the appam.Never skip it.
- It stays soft and good for hours.So u can make them in advance too.
