Ingredients for Millet Appam
Banana
Use any variety of overripe bananas. They will be easy to mash and delicious for this recipe. I used Nendran Variety banana. Make sure you get around 1 cup of mashed banana.
Millet Flour
All the Millet flours go well for this recipe. I have already tried Foxtail Millet and Kodo Millet flour for this recipe. It works well. You may also use Ragi Flour.
Jaggery
Use powdered Jaggery or Country sugar for this recipe. If your banana is not that sweet increase the amount of Jaggery used. So adjust the sweetness as you like.
Cardamom Powder
Cardamom powder gives an exquisite flavor and hence it's a must-add in the recipe.
How to prepare Millet Banana Appam
1) In a mixing bowl add in the ripe banana. Mash it well with the fork such that the banana is completely mashed.
2) To this add in the Powdered Jaggery or Country sugar.
3) Next add in the Cardamom powder
4) Also add in a pinch of salt and a pinch of cooking soda. Adding cooking soda is optional you can skip if you do not prefer. Yet do not miss salt as it elevates the flavors.
5) Combine everything together and then add in the Millet flour in batches.
6) Combine well if the mixture is very dry sprinkle in little water.
7) Heat Oil in a pan for deep frying. I used Idhayam Groundnut oil. Once the oil is hot pinch in small balls and deep fry in medium flame.
