Prep Time: 5-10 mins
Cooking Time: 15-20 mins
Makes: 20-25 small Appams Ingredients:
2 cups Rice, washed and soaked in water for 1-2 hours
1 cup Jaggery (Adjust acc to taste)
½ cup fresh/frozen Coconut
½ tsp Green Cardamom Powder
2 very ripe Bananas, peeled and roughly chopped
A pinch of Salt
Little Oil or Ghee
Let this batter rest for at least 15 minutes for all the flavours to blend well before you proceed to next step.
Now
either you can deep fry or use Appam pan to make these Banana Appams.
If using Appam pan, grease the Appam pan with little ghee and heat it
on medium flame.
Pour the batter into each hole and cover the pan
with a lid and let it cook on low-medium heat on both sides till it
turns golden brown and cooked through.
Serve it hot with any spicy Chutney or hot Tomato Ketchup or as it is and enjoy.
I used
non-stick Appam pan and it hardly required any oil of ghee due to
coconut used which releases its natural oil when cooked. If using iron
pan, make sure that you grease it properly.
