Ingredients

  • Ponni rice - 1 cup
  • Sugar - 2 cup
  • Thick coconut milk - 1 cup
  • Fennel Seeds - 1 tsp
  • Cashew nuts - 10 ( broken )
  • Salt - a pinch
  • Coconut oil - As required for deep frying
  • Sa jeerakam ( caraway seeds ) - 1 tsp

Method

Step 1

Wash and soak the rice in water for one hour.

Step 2

To make thick coconut sprinkle, add 1 cup of boiling water over 1½ cup of grated coconut. Squeeze out the thick coconut milk from it and keep aside.

Step 3

Add half of the coconut milk to the rice, and grind it with sugar.

Step 4

Add the remaining coconut milk little by little while grinding to attain the required consistency. The batter should be smooth without any grainy effect and the consistency of the batter should be in between idly and dosa batter.

Step 5

Once the batter is ready, add the fennel seeds, sa jeerakam, broken nuts, salt and mix well.

Step 6

Heat oil in a wok or cheenachatti.

Step 7

Pour a ladle full of batter into the hot oil.

Step 8

Do not turn the appam upside down to cook. To cook the top part, use the spoon. Pour the hot oil from the kadai or wok on the top of the appam until it is cooked. The appam should be white in colour with a light brown bottom.

Step 9

Tasty Kunjikalathappam is ready.
