Material:
• Rice flour - 200 grams (1 cup)
• Semolina - 100 grams (half cup)
• Ripe bananas - 2-3
• Jaggery or sugar - 75 grams (1/3 cup)
• Coconut - cup (grated)
• Small cardamom - 4-5 (peeled and crushed)
• Eno salt or baking soda - 1/4 tsp
• Oil - a little for frying
Process:
• Soak the rice for 1 hour, take out the water from the rice, if desired, spread it on a thick cloth so that it absorbs the rice water, grind the rice into fine flour.
• Take out rice flour and semolina in a big vessel. Grind coconut and sugar and mix.
• Mash the banana well and mix it in the mixture. Add cardamom more, add water as required, keep the batter as thick as idli batter. Beat the batter well with a hand blender and keep it for half an hour.
• Add eno salt to the mixture. You can also add baking powder, but my experience is that if you add eno salt instead of baking powder, the mixture becomes more fluffy.
• Place the Appa Maker (Appa Patra) on the gas plate and heat it, put less than 1/4 tsp oil in each pan. (If you want, you can also make without oil) Take the mixture with a spoon and fill each box halfway, keep the gas on low, in a while these appams will swell and fill the food completely, when they turn brown from the bottom. Flip the uni appam over and cook the other side till it turns brown.
• Take out the roasted unniyappam and keep it in a plate and do the other unniyappam in the same way, prepare all the unniyappam.
• Hot unniyappam is ready, serve and eat.
