Neyyappam - Rice pancake

Neyyappam - Rice Pancake

By Nithu on Feb 27, 2008 in Best of ST, Sweets & Desserts

Neyyappam is another type of Indian pancake (sweet) which is made in Kerala. I had a neighbour called Aartee who is a wonderful cook. She make this sweet often especially for her two year old kid, Arya. Whenever she made neyyappam she used to give me some because I am a big fan of it. Now that she moved to Miami, I miss it. Finally, I got the recipe from her and started doing this delicious appams. Here you go…

This is my entry for Kids food event which is conducted by vanamala of Nalapaka.blogspot.com.

Ingredients:

Rice flour - 1 1/4 cup
Banana - 2
Jaggery - 1 cup
Coconut - 3 tbsp
whole cashew nuts - a handful
Raisins - a handful
Cardamom - 3
Ghee - to fry

Method of preparation:

Heat 1/4 cup of water in a pan, add jaggery to it and allow it to boil
In between, mash the bananas and mix with rice flour
Once the jaggery starts boiling add coconut and ground cardamom to it
After it starts thickening, remove from heat and keep it aside
Add raisins and broken cashews to the rice flour, combine it and then the jaggery when it come down to room temperature
Mix it well with your hands to avoid clinging of flour
Heat the paniyara kadai and fill it with ghee (1/2 tsp in each) and add a tbsp of batter in each pot
Turn both the sides and fry
The first set of paniyarams may give you burnt look and smell. To avoid this use more ghee (3/4 tsp) only for the first set of paniyarams and cook at medium or less than medium heat
Cook the remaining set of paniyarams following the procedure

ney mix ney6 ney 5 ney4

Serve hot or at room temperature.

Hey Gayu, thanq for having my paniyaram in ur website, as for adding other fruits i tried with apple and it was a flop. i am sure that it won’t be bad with dry fruits that r sweet and not sour…so u can tell ur fans to try dryfruits and that it surely will work!
