Appam Batter

Sweet Appam (Paniyaram)

Method:

1. Grind soaked rice without adding water till soft.
2. After grinding add ripe banana, coconut, jaggery and elaichi. Grind it and ferment it for 4 hours.
3. Then heat paniyaram pan (this pan is displayed in my earlier post of Paniyaram) with little ghee, pour one ladleful of batter in the pit.

4. Cook it in the medium flame, turn over and cook the other side.

5. Take it out of the pan and drain excess ghee.

This can be relished even when it is hot. Also you can store this paniyaram in room temperature for upto 2 days.

Without adding coconut it can stay good for upto 4 or 5 days.

Tips:
1. Adding banana makes the paniyaram soft.
2. If you cannot wait for its fermentation, then add a pinch of cooking soda to get Soft appams.
