| Ingredients | Preparation Method |
| Rice flour(Ari podi) - 1 cup Jaggery(Sharkkara) powdered-1 cup Cardamom(Elakka) - 4 pods Ghee - 3 tsp. Maida or milk powder - 1 tbsp. Dry grated coconut -1 tsp (optional) Oil for frying Alternatively, you can use rava/sooji instead of rice flour. It will not only give the desired thickness to the dough but also not alter the taste in the least. | 1)Grind together the rice flour/rava and the cardomom pods into a very thick paste. 2)Add the powdered jaggery and grind again. When you grind the jaggery, do not add water The jaggery will melt on its own 3)Add ghee and maida/milk powder 4)Coconut can be added optionally Mix well into a thick batter 5)Heat oil in a deep frying pan 6)With a sunken ladle, pour small quantities into the oil(the size of a cookie) and deep fry to a rich dark brown colour. Hints: 1. Adding milk powder/maida helps thicken the dough and gives additional softness to the appams 2. Appams are usually deep-fried in ghee. Hence the name Neyyappam. Such appams are very fatty and so to produce the same taste as ghee-fried appams, 3 tsp of ghee are added to the dough before frying 3. Appams are usually made in a deep bottomed vessel called the "appa-karai" which has specifically designed cups for making such appams. In the absence of such a vessel, make sure that the dough is very thick, so that it does not run when poured into the pan for deep frying. |
