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:)

Naranga Achar/Lemon Pickle

Naranga Achar/Lemon Pickle Do you love pickles? Condiments and pickles are surprisingly easy to make and are a must-have in my kitchen. Zesty and hot lemon pickle adds a punch to any meal. It goes well with steamed rice, curd rice or Rotis.This recipe is for those who love pickles and who have nostalgic feelings about homemade spicy, tangy and intensely lemony pickle. Most Indians will agree that pickles are an inevitable part of our lunch. This pickle is made by stuffing the spices into whole lemons, the way it is made by my grandmother and aunts. There is a great nostalgic feeling to this kind of lemon pickle. Grandmother used to make big jars of a stuffed whole lemon pickle when lemon trees in the backyard were harvested. She used to take out her huge ceramic pickle jars called bharanis to fill up with homemade pickles. If this pickle is made in the right way has a shelf life for about a year. The more it matures the better it tastes. Pickles are an integral part of ...
