Easy Unniyappam With Rice Flour Recipes

EASY UNNIYAPPAM WITH RICE FLOUR

Steps:

• Make the Jaggery syrup (Sarkara pani) : Add the Jaggery to a heavy saucepan and add about 3/4 cup water.
• Cook on medium heat, till the mixture, begins to boil. Lower the flame and simmer until a thick syrup with one-thread consistency is reached. Set aside to cool off a bit.
• Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a strainer to remove any impurities.
• Mash the banana in a bowl till lump-free. Add the rice flour along with the spices and salt.
• Add half of the prepared Jaggery syrup first and stir briskly with a wooden spoon. Check the consistency and add more syrup till a smooth semi-thick batter is achieved.
• Rest the batter for 4 hours.
• Fry the coconut bits in either coconut oil or ghee, for better flavor (according to taste).
• Add the golden-fried coconut bits to the rested batter and stir.
• Heat either coconut oil or ghee in the Appakara/Unniyappa Chatty / Dutch Aebleskiver pan.
• Pour around 1 1/2 Tbsp of the batter into each well of the pan and fry on medium heat till it turns golden brown in color.
• Flip over and fry the next side the same. Remove to a colander to help remove any oil and later store in airtight jars.
• If keeping for more than a day, I store it in the refrigerator.
