Ingredients for Kandarappam / Sweet Appam
Rice – little above ¾ of the cup
Urad dal – Just to fill the gap on top of rice in the cup
Jaggery – ¾ cup
Cardamom powder – 1 tspn
Oil to fry
Method of preparation
Soak the rice and urad dal for 2 hours. Keep the pan and add the jaggery with little
water to make syrup and let the jaggery pieces to dissolve completely then
filter the syrup to remove impurities.
Again keep the pan and add the filtered jaggery syrup and heat the syrup
till it get thick and let the syrup to cool.
Drain the water completely from rice and urad dal
and transfer that to blender then add cardamom powder and jaggery syrup and
grind the mixture to nice paste. Don’t add
jaggery directly while grinding the urad dal and rice as jaggery consists of
impurities that’s why we take jaggery syrup.
While grinding the mixture don’t add water as syrup itself has
water. After grinding nice paste leave
it for 1 hour for fermentation.
Keep the pan and add oil to fry the Kandarappam as
soon as the oil get heated up keep the flame little more than sim flame and
less than medium flame. If the batter is
thick, mix with little water to get pouring consistency. You have to fry one by one, pour the batter
in one place in hot oil and it spread itself.
As soon as get fried in one side turn to other side and fry to dark
golden brown colour. Pierce the knife
tip in the Kandarappam to check it is fully cooked. If the batter stick in knife while piercing
means not fully cooked if not then its sure it is cooked. The delicious Kandarappam / Sweet Appam is
ready to serve.
