To a pan add 3/4 cup jaggery along with 1/3 cup water. Heat it up.
Let jaggery dissolve completely.
Once jaggery melts completely switch off, no consistency check needed. Set aside to cool.
To a mixing bowl - add 1 cup wheat flour, 1/4 cup rice flour, 1 teaspoon rava.
Strain and add prepared jaggery syrup.
Add 1/4 teaspoon cooking soda and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder.
Mix this well first. Add water little by little and mix it.
The batter should be thick but in flowing consistency. Do not make more runny as the appams may drink more oil.
Use deep curved ladle and take 3/4th of the ladle.
Heat oil in a deep kadai and keep in medium flame and add the batter.
It will rise up slowly and puff up.
Splash oil over the appam.
Flip over and cook for few seconds.
Once golden brown on both the sides strain using a perforated ladle.
Remove the appam. Repeat to finish the batter.
Sweet appam is ready!
