Unni appam/Sweet paniyaram

Unniappam: I have tasted unniappam as temple prashadam. Later I found that making this sweet recipe is very easy. Recently I became a fan of Kuzhipaniyaram recipes and started making kuzhipaniyaram every week.

This is one of my small steps in my healthy recipe journey. This unniappam is 100% safe and sweet recipe. I shared this unni appam with my neighbours and got excellent feedback.

        There are different methods of making unniappam. But as I already said I always prefer simple and easy way of cooking and this method is simple and easy but very tasty.

Let’s see how I made it.

Ingredients:

·        A kuzhipaniyaram pan

·        1 cup raw rice (we get 14 nos)

·        1 cup shredded jaggery.

·        1 ripe banana

·        3 tablespoon ghee

Pre preparation steps for making unniappam:

Ø Wash one cup of raw rice in water 2 to 3 times and soak in water for 3 to 4 hours.

Ø Shred 1 cup of jaggery. My cup is 100ml cup. I took rice and jaggery in the same cup. If you want more sweetness you can add  liitle more jaggery.

Ø  Peel the banana and slice it.

Procedure for making unniappam:

·        Drain the rice soaked in water and put this rice inside a mixie jar.

·        Add the shredded jiggery and banana.

·        Grind it in a mixer jar.

·        Now the batter for unniappam is ready.

·        Leave it for 1 hour.

·        In a motor and pestle, beat 3 cardomom

·        Now add this beaten cardamom to the batter and mix well.

·        Heat  ghee in the kuzhipaniyaram pan.

·        Ladle the batter in each mould.

·        When the lower portion turns brown, flip it to the other side.

·        Cook it for 4 to 5 minutes.

·        Unni appam is ready.

It was so sweet and aromatic as I added freshly beaten cardamom.

How can you enhance the taste of this unniappam?

Here I have added only 3 ingredients. You can add shredded coconut and sesame seeds to enhance its taste.

This sweet unni appam can also be made with black jaggery which is healthier than brown jaggery. I would try this in future and share with you.

Will kids love this unniappam?

Instead of buying sweets from bakery and spoiling their health, this is an excellent sweet to satisfy their sweet cravings.

They may get addicted to its taste, so tasty it was.

Only safe and healthy ingredients are necessary for making this unniappam. So it is a healthy snack for children.

Health benefits of unniappam:

·        Jaggery is rich in iron and protects children from anemia.

·        Ghee is very beneficial for growing children. It also keeps them warm and moist. Also ghee is very much beneficial for arthiritis. It increase the lubrication in joints.

·        Banana makes the dish healthier.

·        Senior citizens can also have this appam as it is healthy and homemade.
