Vellaiappam recipe, uppappam

  Vellaiappam recipe,Uppappam | Morappam recipe with step by step pictures and video, is a deep fried snack made using rice and urad dal as the main ingredients. My mom makes on Diwali morning along with breakfast. In my in – laws place nobody knows about this and after 11 years of our marriage this is the first time i made at my home and my hubby and kids liked this very much.
Sometimes my mom makes with left over idli batter and that will absorb a lot of oil. This Vellaiappam is quite famous in Madurai. During our childhood days we used to go the famous Madurai Gopu Iyengar kadai and relish this vellai appam with getti chutney.

  • Do not add too much water while grinding and if the batter becomes watery it will absorb more oil.
  • If the yogurt is sour you can start frying in the oil . No need to ferment the vellaiappam batter.

    We call this bonda not appam and I love these kind of bondas more than pakodas..:)

  2. My mom used to make these too with left over batter like what you have said. I wasn't so impressed since it was oily. But yours looks so tempting. Guess I need to make it from scratch to enjoy it 🙂
