South team’s host Shama from Easy2cookrecipes – Palm jaggery aapam click here

This time i was held up with lots of work so did n’t get time at all so am very late this time :(. This months challange is hosted by shama of Easy2cook recipes When i first saw the recipe i felt its going to very delicious but didn’t get proper time to try them. I was searching for the palm jaggery so that i can try the original recipe but didn’t get them. After asking shama she gave so many tips to make these Sweet appams. I was planning to make the original recipe and use molasses and make them for variation from the beginning but as i didn’t get palm jaggery i had to go with this recipe. This even tasted delicious and i loved them  🙂
Thanks to shama for this yummy recipe and i haven’t tried appam before so this was a new experiment in my kitchen . Now lets Move on to the recipe for “Sweet Appam”.

Ingredients

1 cup Parboiled rice / idli rice
1 cups raw rice (chawal)
1/2 cup cooked rice (chawal)
1/2 cup  molasses (adjust to your taste buds)
2 tsp sugar
salt to taste
1/2 tsp yeast
Ghee or any other refined for greasing and cooking

Method

• Wash and soak both the rice for 2 to 3 hours. Drain.
• Combine the soaked rice, cooked rice with little water and blend in a mixer till smooth.

• Add the sugar  and yeast to the little lukewarm and mix well. Keep it aside for 5- 10 mins or till becomes frothy .

• Add it to the rice mixture and mix well (the batter should be of dropping consistency). Cover and keep aside for 5-6 hours.

• Heat an appam kadhai or a deep non-stick tawa and grease it lightly with oil.
• Pour a ladle full of the batter into it and slowly rotate the kadhai in a circular motion so that a thin layer forms on sides.

• Cover and cook for a minute, remove the appam when the middle fluffy part is cooked.

• Repeat for the remaining batter to make  more appams.
• Serve hot as is or with some banana slices .
