- 1/2 cup yogurt
- Water as required
- 3/4 cup jaggery grated or chopped
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup fresh coconut grated
- Assorted dry fruits raisins, chopped nuts
- Cardamom powder
- A big pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine rava, mashed bananas, yogurt, and enough water to make a thick batter.
- Add grated jaggery to the batter and mix well until it dissolves.
- Add rice flour, grated fresh coconut, assorted dry fruits, cardamom powder, and a big pinch of salt. Mix the batter thoroughly.
- Allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes. This helps the flavors to meld, and the rava absorbs moisture.
- If the batter is too thick, you can add a little water to achieve a pouring consistency.
- Just before making appams, add baking soda to the batter and mix well.
- Heat the appam pan (also known as paniyaram pan) and add a drop of ghee or oil to each mold.
- Pour a spoonful of batter into each mold and cook on medium heat.
- Allow the appams to cook until the edges turn golden brown. Flip them using a skewer or spoon to cook the other side.
- Once both sides are evenly cooked, remove the appams from the pan. Serve them warm.
