My first kiddo asked me if appam is an Indian doughnut without the hole :-) I guess then we call vadai the indian doughnut without the sugar ;-) or spicy doughnuts ... :-)
I will post the recipe for urad daal vadai (Vada) later. Most people use rice flour to make appams. My mom uses wheat flour and it tastes delicious. My dad loves this too...
Here's the recipe for my mom's version of Appam :
Ingredients :
Jaggery - 2 cups
Wheat flour - 1.5 cups
Elaichi powder - a pinch
Rice flour - 2 spoons
Method :
Heat jaggery with little water till it melts. Reduce the heat and add wheat flour, riceflour and elaichi (keep it mixed already) slowly and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring till it reaches dosa batter consistency. Heat oil and drop this batter using a ladle or a big spoon and fry till they are done.
Mine were looking fluffier when i took it off the oil, but i pressed them to get the excess oil out and they became flat.
Later when i called my mil, she said that i could make it using the Kuzhipaniyaram vessel. I am going to try it again later as it is healthier.
Sending this recipe to Sweet Series at http://www.paajaka.com/
