Easy Unniyappam with Rice Flour

Easy Unniyappam with Rice Flour

Unniyappam is a traditional sweet snack of Kerala, made with Rice flour, Banana, Jaggery, mild spice, and Coconut bits. It is fried in a special pan called Appakara/Unniyappa Chatty which is similar to the Dutch Aebleskiver Pan. Unlike the Dutch Aebleskiver (Æbleskiver), which is a leavened, fried pancake, the Uniyappam is denser in texture and can be stored for a few days without affecting the texture or flavor.

Unniyappam is a variation to another traditional Kerala sweet snack called Nayappam, where the batter is just poured ladle by ladle into hot ghee. Unniappam is often used as a ritual offering, in the temples in Kerala (dedicated to Lord Krishna).
