And today I will be making Banana Appam.

You may call it a Banana Appam or a Banana Pancake

they are more or less the same.

So let's begin.

I am taking jaggery

which I have grated.

If you have powdered jaggery, that could also be used.

In half a cup of jaggery add 1.5 cups of water.

We have to melt this.

Till the jaggery is melting,

we'll peel the Bananas and mash them.

For this recipe ripe or overripe Bananas are perfect

So there is a Banana here,

Using a fork,

you just mash it.

Make it into a pulp.

Another one

Make a nice mash

of these Bananas.

I have used about two large Bananas.

The jaggery has dissolved. We will turn it off.

We'll keep it for cooling.

Let's pour this out.

There.

In this Banana, we'll add

Rice Flour.

There it goes.

In this goes grated Coconut.

Cardamom powder.

And white Sesame seed means "Til" in Hindi.

In this, we may

add a little Baking soda or Baking powder.

So that it's not very heavy

but a little fluffy and light.

We'll mix this nicely.

Look at that.

I can already smell the flavour of Banana and

Cardamom together.

This is cold enough

now we'll add it to the Bananas

and make a thick batter from it.

Gradually.

All the liquid

with the dissolved jaggery is mixed in this.

There.

The batter is ready.

Just give it a nice stir.

So that everything gets mixed well.

Banana Appam is actually a dish that you can have

any time of the day.

And as it has Coconuts, Bananas

Cardamom and jaggery

These are all very good for your health.

Alright.

Take a pan.

Heat it up. Alright.

Put very little Ghee in the pan. Now

take this thick batter

put it in the center

Grease a spoon and then just

evenly spread the batter.

On a slow heat.

Just cook the first side.

Because it has jaggery it will soon be

Caramelized. So be very very careful.

Cook it on a slow flame only.

If you want, you can put this in a Kunni Paniyaram Chutney

and make small Kunni Paniyaram

shaped also.

A little bit of Ghee will be drizzled on the top.

And now we will turn it.

There it goes.

Looks very nice.

Very soft, very fluffy.

So they are ready.

Now we'll plate them.

Alright, to plate it,

all we need to do is

just spat them up.

And the last one.

Best one so far

on the top.

Now.

The best way to serve these Banana Appams is

on their own but you can always serve it with some nuts

and some extra Honey or Maple on the side.

There.

Done.

Couple of candied fruits.

On the top.

Perfectly okay.

And some Dried fruits.

A little playful.

And just pour some

Honey or Maple syrup.

On top.

There.

A little around

And the Banana Appam pancakes are done.
