Appam(Tanjore Style)

Appam this word makes me drool..............we people are very new to the concept of making these Appam verities at home. Most of the time, had from frozen section or from the friends place. For the first time, I felt like trying these goodies at home, So I have adopted this wonderful yet simple recipe from Santhi Krishnakumar's Cook Book, It turned out perfect......................................

Ingredients:

Rice Flour-1/2cup, Wheat Flor-1/2cup, Jaggery-3/4cup(grated), Elachi-3no.(crushed), Fresh Coconut-2tsp(shredded), Oil for deep frying.

Method:

Mix all the above ingredients well. Add water and make the batter, this batter should have the consistency that of dosa batter. In a pan heat oil for deep frying, once the oil is hot enough, pour a table spoon of batter in the oil, wait till the upper side gets fluffy, then turn to the other side and fry till they are medium brown in color.

My Observations:

The oil should not be too hot.

Remove the Appams from heat once they get brown color because the jaggery gives them burnt taste.

Fry few Appams at a time for the best results.
