Unniappam / Neyappam / Paniyaram ( Rice and Jaggery Dumplings)




In Celebration of Good News.....I received a good news yesterday that my cousin had delivered a healthy baby and both mother and baby are doing great....So to celebrate, I made Unniappams...

Unniappams can also be made in large quantity ahead of time and can be stored in an airtight container.Appakara also known as Paniyaram pan , is used to make Unniappams/Paniyarams.


Things You will need:

Rice Flour- 2 cups
Jaggery- 1/2 lb; melted
Cardamom - 1 tsp
Ripe Banana - 2 ; crushed/blended to fine paste
Baking powder -1/2 tsp
Oil- around 1/2 cup;to fill the pan
Water- 2 cups

Preparation Method:

Add jaggery to 2 cups of water and melt it on stove top.
After melting the jaggery completely, strain it.
In a bowl , add rice flour,baking powder, cardamom and blended/crushed bananas.
Now slowly pour the melted jaggery to this bowl ,little at a time,and mix the content really well.
Make sure there are no lumps.
Heat the oil in the pan.
Once oil is well heated, reduce the flame to medium high and pour the batter into each of the pan holes.



When the bottom of each Unniappam is brown , turn them over.
Once the Unniappam is brown in all sides , remove from pan.



Prepare and share with friends and family for all celebrations.





*****THIS RECIPE IS A WINNER*****
