We usually make Appam for Krishna Jayanthi, Ganesh Chathurti, Karthigai deepam, and aavani avittam. Apart from making this one festival, we can make this for kid’s snack box too. Usually appam is made using wheat flour or the traditional way using rice. This one is using rava as the main ingredient. This appam turned out super soft and the outer portion was evenly browned. I didn’t add a banana to this one. Usually, we add banana while making Instant It gives softness to the appams. The same rava appams can be deep fried in the oil, but we need to make the batter thick in case we are doing it that way.
