Servings: 20 to 25 appam
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup Jaggery grated or powdered
- 1-2 Cardamom crushed
- ¾ cup Water, about
- Oil to deep fry
Instructions
- In a big bowl, add the jaggery and water, mix till all the jaggery dissolves (can microwave for 1 or 2 min. to dissolve). Filter and discard the impurities. To the jaggery water, add spoon by spoon whole wheat flour and mix thoroughly without any lumps.
- Add the crushed or powdered cardamom and mix. The consistency of the batter should be like that of idli batter - not too thick nor too thin. The batter should be like that shown in this picture.
- In a pan, heat enough oil and keep in a medium flame. Once the oil is hot enough, add approximately a tablespoon of the batter and fry. Flip and fry till both the sides are nicely golden brown in color.
- Scoop it out of the oil, drain the excess oil.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container.
