Sarkara Appam


Sarkara Appam

This is a quick and instant snack.It is made with wheat flour and sarkara/jaggery. Wheat flour,banana and jaggery is made into a smooth thick paste and fried. There is no need to ferment and you can use it instantly.For best results and taste use smaller type bananas. In Kerala we use  cheru pazham or palayam thodan or you can use ripe plantains or ethapazham which can be easily mashed. Try this, it is simple and very tasty.

Ingredients
Wheat flour- 1 1/2 cup
Jaggery powdered-  3/4 cup
(adjust according to sweetness you like
and also according to the type of banana)
Banana/cheru pazham-3
Cardamon crushed- 5
Dry ginger/chukku - a pinch
Salt- a pinch
Ghee- 1/2 tsp
Oil for frying



Mix powdered jaggery with 1/2 cup of water and bring to boil. When it dissolves completely switch off and allow to cool. In a blender make a paste of this jaggery water and banana.
In a bowl add wheat flour, crushed cardamon, dry ginger powder  salt and ghee and finally the the banana jaggery paste. Use more water if needed and make a medium thick batter. Consistency should be similar to idli batter. Allow it to rest for four to five minutes.
Meanwhile heat oil in a pan and now pour spoon full of batter into the oil.Fry in medium low flame or the inside of the appam will not get cooked and the outside will get browned up quickly. Fry on both side till it becomes evenly brown. Drain into paper towels. Serve with tea.

Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy

    Thanks for stopping by and glad you liked this snack recipe
    Yes it is deep fried ones,batter consistency should be just like idli batter and in medium low flame while you pour the batter into oil and then increase. If you are familiar with Kerala food..I used appachatti and poured one at a time:)
    Hope you will find other recipes interesting,pls visit again:)

Undan Pori

Undan Pori Today's post is a delicious snack usually common in small restaurants and tea stalls of Kerala.It resembles very much to the unni appam yet it is different in its taste and texture. Undan pori  is crispy and crunchy and at the same time soft and spongy inside. This snack was regularly seen in our college canteen. But this humble snack was brought it only if there was a shortage of uzhunnu vada and parippu vada. It sounds funny but being away from Kerala I felt a craving for this snack and tried it once, but I did not get the perfect chayakada/teastall taste. When I saw this recipe in Swathi's blog -Zesty South Indian Kitchen-I knew this was the perfect recipe. I tried it and it was really delicious. Thanks Swathi for the recipe. Ingredients Wheat flour- 1 1/3 cup Rice flour- 1/3 cup (optional) Baking soda-a pinch Jaggery- 3/4 cup Small banana mashed-3 Cardamon  powder-1/3 tsp Ghee- 1 tbs Coconut pieces- 1/3 cup salt- a pinch oil for frying
