Karthigai Appam recipe | Sweet appam

I actually wanted to post Vella adai recipe(will post tomorrow ) but while i was talking to my sister we both were casually sharing the memories about the  Karthigai sweet appam which my mom makes for Karthigai deepam. Also, she makes it for Janmashtami too. Then only I realized I haven’t posted it here. I have posted the wheat appam recipe, the same one she will deep fry. As we used to gobble it when amma makes it. As I am not a big sweet lover, during my childhood days, especially all the jaggery-based sweets I hate, I love sweet appam one very much.

The entire house was filled with lights, we all wearing pattu pavadai, amma making appam wearing the traditional 9 yards saree, and wearing all the traditional jewelry, this appam reminded me of all the special moments. Being a nurse, by profession, she can’t wear bright and big nose rings daily, so she wears them only during the festival. And she looks very beautiful in that traditional costume and the jewellery. So always Karthigai deepam reminds me of this scene in our house in Madurai. Let me share the recipe for Karthigai sweet appam today. Check the Karthigai Deepam collections .

Notes

1. If you want you can add 2 more tbsp of jaggery too. I found 1/2 cup perfect.
2. Do not keep the batter so thick, else the appams will be very hard after frying.
3. If you are not adding banana, add a pinch of cooking soda to the batter.
4. Kathigai appams stay soft for 5-6 hours.

Method:

  • In a pan add jaggery and add 1/4 cup of water.
  • Let it boil and the jaggery gets dissolved.
