Instant Banana Appam

In a large bowl , mash over ripe banana with jaggery powder and cardamom powder . Mix well

Next add grated coconut and pinch of salt. Mix well again.

Once this mixture is ready, add whole wheat flour and rice flour with water. Adjust water accordingly to adjust thick consistency. I used 3 small cups of water

The batter should be thick enough to get fried well in the Appam fry pan.

Now , in this batter, add 1 tsp baking soda / 1 packet of eno fruit salt. Add 1 tsp of water to activate soda . Beat with fingers to make a fluffy batter. Meanwhile heat Appam fry pan too with 1 spoon of ghee on each section.

Add 1 spoon each of the appam batter on the Appam fry pan. Close with lid and keep the flame low . Cook for 3-4 min.

Open the lid and turn the appams using spoon or Appam stick. Cover and fry for another 2-3 min .

Switch off the flame when the Appam has nicely turned brown in colour. Take it on a plate and keep aside for few minutes. Let it settle down before serving. This enhances the flavour and makes the Appam plumpy and succulent. I served after 10 min. You can check on the photo below the thickness of Appam after breaking into half.
