Wheat Sweet Appam

Wheat Flour Sweet Appam (Godhumai Appam) is an instant appam recipe. Appam is a traditional sweet prepared using jaggery and wheat/rice flour. For many festivals, Amma cooks this at home. Generally Appam is deep fried, but to cut down oil I used the kuzhi paniyaram pan. Having a sweet tooth, I always wanted to eat sweets, and when it comes to jaggery sweets like appam I won’t have second thoughts. Easy tea time snack!

Wheat Sweet Appam

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Serves : 2

Recipe Category: Sweet

Ingredients:

Wheat flour – 1 cup

Jaggery/Brown sugar – 1/2 cup heaped (I used Jaggery)

Rice flour – 2 tbsp

Banana puree – 1 (from one banana)

Cardamom powder – 1/8 tsp

Milk – 1 tbsp (Optional)

Cooking soda – a small pinch

Salt – a pinch (optional)

Oil/Ghee – as needed (I used Ghee)

Method:

• Soak jaggery in warm water (till jaggery is immersed) for about 15 minutes till it melts. Add cardamom powder, banana puree and milk to the molten jaggery and filter to remove the impurities in jaggery. Keep it aside
• In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour, rice flour, salt and baking soda and mix well. Add wet ingredients (molten jaggery with banana) to it and mix well. If required, add water to make it to a pouring consistency and mix well without lumps

• Add ghee to the kuzhi panniyaram pan. Then spoon the batter into each hole. After one side is cooked well, turn the paniyarams and cook the other side

• Flip carefully and cook until it is done

My Notes:

• Banana gives a soft and spongy texture to the appams. You can also omit banana if you want crispy appams
• I have used banana puree, instead you can also use mashed banana
• You can deep fry the appams too. Take the batter using a deep curved ladle and drop it in preheated oil and fry till golden brown.
• You can even add grated coconut/coconut pieces to make it flavorful
