Nei appam

Nei appam is a favourite of Lord Krishna and makes a good Janmashtami recipe.I made this last week for janmashtami pooja.

Ingredients:

• Raw rice - 1 cup (soaked for 1 hr)
• Banana - 1
• Jaggery - 1 cup
• Coconut (optional)- 1/2 cup grated
• Ghee(clarified butter)
• Cardamom - 2

Preparation:

• Drain the rice and add banana, jaggery & cardamom to it.
• Grind the above with little water to make a batter (dosa consistency).
• Mix coconut to it and keep aside for 1 hr.
• In the paniyara maker, add 1 spoon of ghee to each section.
• Make sure the heat is in low-medium.
• Now fill three quarters of each section with the batter.
• Once the ghee starts to bubble,flip it using a skewer.
• Wait for a minute and remove.
