Unniappam


Ingredients:

Raw Rice - 1cup
Jaggery - 3/4 cup
Ripe Banana (Palayamthodan preferred) - 2 nos
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Coconut milk to mix

Method: 1

Soak rice for 1 hour.  Grind the rice after 1 hour nicely adding very little water in grinder or mixer.

Mix jaggery and banana nicely in a mixer.  Keep it aside for a while.

Add the jaggery mixture into  rice.  Mix it nicely.  If the batter is thick add coconut milk. Consistency of this should be like dosa batter.  If the batter is too thin add little atta flour.

Mix the batter nicely with a spoon by adding cardamom powder.

Keep this batter for 12 hours to ferment. Little bit Yeast can be used to assist in fermentation depending on climate.  I usually grind it in the evening and make unniappam in the morning.

After 12 hours again mix it with a spoon.  Heat the unniappam pan and add little oil.

Add the batter to each portion of the pan with a spoon.  Turn over and cook till the appams are golden brown on both sides.

In case unniappam pan is not available, you can use frying pan and carefully pour batter to form circular shape. Unniappam pan is required to get proper shape.

Method 2

Soak rice for 1 hr.  Grind it in a mixer without adding water and sieve it.

Mix Jaggery and banana nicely in a mixer.  Keep it aside for a while.

After this follow the steps of method 1
