Expert Tips
If you prefer very sweet appam then add 3/4 cup jaggery instead of 1/2 cup. Make sure to keep the batter not too runny otherwise the appams will drink more oil. Use a deep curved laddle , fill it up full with batter then pour into preheated oil to get even sized round appams. If soaking time is not enough as a result the appams will not rise up and puff well. So soak for mentioned time.
1.What type of jaggery to use? You can use any type of jaggery either powdered or the block ones. You can use paagu vellam too, the jaggery variety you use decides the color of the appams. 2.What if my batter goes too runny after adding jaggery syrup? Add little rice flour or wheat flour to make batter consistency as needed but do not add more. It will change the texture of the appams and it will not be soft, 3.Can I fry karthigai appam in paniyaram pan? Incase if you are not comfortable with deep frying, then you can use paniyaram pan to make these appams. 4.Can I make appam without soaking, grinding? This recipe is meant for soaking and grinding.
