Notes
- Nei appam should be slightly on the darker shade so keep in low medium flame and fry till reddish brown.
- Instead of grated coconut you can add chopped pieces too.
- Fine sooji will be great but I used upma rava only. If you want you can just pulse sooji few times and add. But I find no much difference hence use it as such.
- I always use filtered jaggery syrup to remove impurities.
- You can use half ghee and half gingelly oil too.
- Salt is added just to lift the sweetness.
- If you don't have paniyaram pan then make the batter a bit thick and using a deep curved ladle drop the batter in oil and deep fry it. But make only one at a time.
