Preparation time:20 minutes
Cooking time:10 minutes
Serves:3

Ingredients Needed:

1. Ragi flour - 200 gm
2. Sugar - 6 tbsp
3. Banana -1 large size
4. Cardamom powder - 1 pinch
5. Milk - 5 tbsp
6. Oil or ghee for frying

 

 

 Method:

• Take ragi flour and sieve them in a bowl.Cut riped banana into fine pieces.
•  Mash the banana and mix with flour and crumble them and mix well.
• Pinch of cardamom powder is added and mix well.
• Add powdered sugar and mix and make dough with 5 tbsp of milk.
• If you feel the dough is tight,add another few drops of milk.
• The dough is ready now.Using rolling pin and flat them using rolling pin.
• Make shapes or simply make round shapes and deep fry them in ghee or oil.
• I made little loose dough so i didnt made any shapes.The dough is too much stiff so add more tbsp milk to the dough and make appam
• Or make instantly when you prepare the dough.as it contains more fibres it aborbs more liquid.So make appams immediately.

 



 Tips:

• Use jaggery instead of sugar.It makes more healthy and more sweet.
• Added only 5 tbsp of sugar because the banana i used is more sweet.
• Pistachios and almond paste makes more healthier and yummy treat for kids.
• Fry in either ghee or oil.Being health conscious i  used oil for frying.
