Notes
- Use store-bought roasted idiappam flour for convenience and to get the best texture in making these appams
- Choose dark-colored jaggery for that rich, authentic brown color and deeper flavor.
- Always strain the melted jaggery syrup before adding it to the batter to remove any dirt or residue.
- Overripe bananas work best as they add natural sweetness and softness. If you can find small Mysore bananas, they are ideal, but any ripe banana will work well.
- Do not skip the cardamom powder, as it gives the unniappams their signature aroma and flavor.
- Cook on a medium flame so the inside cooks evenly without the outside browning too quickly.
- Add black sesame seeds along with fried coconut bits for extra flavor and texture, if you like.
- A pinch of salt in the batter helps balance and enhance the sweetness of the jaggery.
- Mixing the batter by hand helps create a smooth, uniform consistency. No resting time is needed, so you can make them right away.
- Add the baking soda just before frying in the appe pan, and adjust the quantity carefully so the unniappams turn soft and fluffy without over-rising
