ETHAKKA APPAM

This is a tasty snack made with ripe banana (ethappazham/nenthrappazham). The method is very easy and the preparation takes hardly 10 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

1. Ethappazham - 4 (make sure it is ripe and sweet.)
2. Maida - 1 cup
3. Rice flour (pathiri podi) - 1/4 cup
4. Salt - 1 pinch
5. Sugar - 1 table spoon
6. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tea spoon
7. Coconut oil - for frying (ghee is best)

METHOD

1. Mix items 2-6 and add enough water to make a loose paste.

2. Remove the skin and cut the banana (lenghtwise) into 2 or 3.

3. Heat oil in a wide pan. Put a drop of the batter to check if the oil is hot enough. Keep the heat at medium. Otherwise the appam will absorb more oil.

4. Coat the banana pieces with the batter and fry in the oil . Flip only once.
