Appam is a long-term pending post from me, I prepare it quite often but it took so many days to post,I have also posted few other versions of sweet appam, Check them too. Now let's see how to prepare Net appam.
Difference between Neiappm and Uniappam
We fry Nei appam in ghee but in uniappam we use coconut oil or a mix of both ghee and oil. We usually add coconut in neyyappm for softness and banana in uniappam . The shelf life of neyyappam is more than uniappam as uniappam has banana added in the batter.
Traditionally Nei appam is deep-fried. But nowadays we follow the appe pan version to avoid deep frying.
