KANDARAPPAM
This is a traditional Chettinad snack item which will have its place on almost all important festival or pooja days. Being little bit sweet, it will be a real treat for sweet lovers
Ingredients
Raw rice-1 cup
Par boiled rice (idly rice)-1 cup
Urudh dhal- 1/4 cup
Peeled broken green dhal-1 table spoon
Thoor dhal-1 table spoon
Bengal gram-1 table spoon
Jaggery -1 ½ cup
Grated coconut-(1/2 cocunut)
Elachi (yelakkai) -6
Procedure
Soak the rice and dhal for 1 hour. Put it in the grinder and grind for 10 minutes. Now add the grated coconut and grind to a smooth paste. Finally add the jaggery and the powdered elachi and grind till the jaggery nicely mixes.
The batter should be in the consistency of dosa batter. Keep the kadai in the stove .Pour the required amount of oil. Once the oil gets heated, keep the flame in sim and using a small spatula, slowly pour 1 spatulla of batter into the oil and wait for a second when the appam raises slowly pour the heated oil on top of the appam 2 or 3 times with the help of a spoon. This will enable the appam to be cooked fast and also to get a curled border (we usually call it as ‘karai katturathu’ in Tamil).Then turn the side, wait for a minute and remove from the kadai.It will not take much time to cook. So don’t wait till it turn brown.

I've tried Kandarappam for this diwali. Here in US, we have long grains rice(can get it in walmart). i did it very simply and it turned out good.
Recipe :
long grains rice(pacharisi) - 1 cup
urud dal - a fistful of urud dhal
fenugreek seeds - 1 teaspoon
brown sugar powder - 3/4 th of a cup
.
I just soaked rice and urud dhal for 2 hrs. Fenugreek seeds for 6 hrs. I grinded everything together with salt in grinder. Once it looks like a paste i ve added brownsugar and cardamom powder to it and just mixed like a dosa batter with milk. then i started deep frying it. It turned out so soft and good.
very good.I think that you have great interest in cooking.hats off to you for experimenting in this young age.I too started like this as I was studying even after my marriage and didnt have a chance to learn from my mom.
Thanks for your kind words achi :-)
Aachi,
I have been doing the paniyarams little differently. In a ulakku, i take mukkal pulungal arisi, then thalai thatta pachai arisi, then gopuram ulundu. My mom never told me about the daals. I will try with the the daals too for this diwali. I always do kandarappam and vellai paniyaram for all the diwalis.
I love your recipes. Is it possible to publish them in a printable format so that I can take a print out when cooking instead of running to the computer everytime?
