How to Prepare

In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of rice flour
1 cup of grated jaggery, and 1/2 cup of grated coconut.
Add 1 tsp of cardamom powder and a pinch of salt to the mixture.
Gradually add water (about 1.5 cups) to form a thick batter with a dropping consistency.
Heat a non-stick pan or appam pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with ghee or oil.
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan to form small, round appams (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden and crispy.
Flip the appam and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm as a sweet snack or offering.
