Preparation

Recipe prepared by ITC Hotels Chefs

Step 1

Melt jaggery in 1/2 cup of water. Strain to remove impurities and set the jaggery syrup aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add rava, wheat flour and rice flour and whisk it well. Now add the jaggery syrup and continue to mix, making sure no lumps are formed.

Step 3

Add water to form a slightly runny batter. Then add the grated coconut and cardamom powder. Mix well till you get the right consistency.

Step 4

Add baking soda to the batter and mix it well.

Step 5

Once the batter is ready, heat a paniyaram pan and add ½ teaspoon of Aashirvaad Svasti Ghee in each partition/hole of the pan. Aashirvaad Svasti Ghee not only cooks and fries the appams but it also enhances its taste and gives it a delightful aroma.
