How to Make Banana Appam: A Delicious South Indian Treat 2023

 Banana Appam recipe

Banana Appam is a popular South Indian dish made with ripe bananas, rice flour and various spices. Here is a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 cup rice flour
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated coconut
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed
• Oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
2. Add the rice flour, all-purpose flour, grated coconut, sugar, cardamom powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
3. Slowly add water to the mixture and knead until a smooth batter is formed. The batter should be of flowing consistency.
4. Heat a non-stick appam pan or a small-medium size non-stick pan with a small well in the middle.
5. Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the well and rotate the pan so that the batter spreads evenly.
6. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until the edges start to brown and the appam is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove the appam from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the hot Banana Appam with coconut milk or any sweet syrup of your choice.

Note: You can add jaggery instead of sugar, this will give a nice taste and aroma.

Also you can add nuts like cashews or almonds for added crunch.
