Ingredients

1/4 Cup Wheat Flour / கோதுமை மாவு
1/3 Cup Rice Flour / அரிசிமாவு
1/2 Cup Fine Rava / ரவை
3/4 to 1 Cup Jaggery / வெல்லம்
1/2 Cup Water / தண்ணீர் (To melt jaggery)
3 Cardamom / ஏலக்காய்
2 Pinch Salt / உப்பு
2 to 3 tbsp Grated Coconut / துருவிய தேங்காய்
1/4 tsp Cooking Soda / சமையல் சோடா
Ghee / நெய் As Required (Link for ghee)

Instructions

First, measure and keep all the ingredients ready. Then grate the coconut or chop it into small bite-sized bits.
To a wide mixing bowl, add wheat flour, rice flour, fine rava, crushed cardamom and grated coconut. To a pan, add 3/4 cup of jaggery and pour 1/2 cup of water. Heat till the jaggery completely dissolves and slightly thickens. No string consistency is needed here.
Filter the jaggery through a metal strainer and pour it over the flours kept in the bowl. Mix it well, then add 1/4 tsp of cooking soda and 2 pinches of salt.
Then pour very little water and adjust the consistency. The batter should not be too thick or watery. Heat a paniyaram pan, grease each mould with ghee.
Using a spoon, take little batter and fill each mould with 3/4 of the batter (You can also deep fry the appam’s in kadai using oil).
Cover and cook in low flame for 2 to 3 minutes. Once the bottom is cooked, flip it to the other side using a spoon or fork.
Leave it for 2 to 3 minutes in low flame and add little ghee so it gets brown equally on both sides.

Notes

Tips On How To Make Instant Appam

Instead of adding grated coconut, you can chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Adjust jaggery as per your sweetness, you can increase it to 1 cup also.
Always filter the jaggery to remove the impurities.
If the batter is thick, the appams become dense and hard. Pour little water and adjust the consistency.
If the batter is thin, the appam’s will turn flat and absorb more ghee/oil.
Don’t give resting time after adding cooking soda. Also, don’t add more than mentioned, else the appam absorbs more ghee.
Adding salt enhances the sweetness of this Easy Nei Appam.
If preferred it can be deep fried in oil, but fry one at a time to get perfect shaped appams.
Ensure the pan is hot enough, so the appams won't stick to the pan.
If you are calorie conscious appam can be fried in sesame oil also, but ghee only gives the perfect taste.
Always cook the appam in low flame, otherwise, it doesn’t get cooked inside.
