Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, semolina, sesame seeds, flax seeds, cardamom powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mango puree, grated coconut, and fresh cream.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix. A few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough appams.
    Mango Appam
  • Heat an appam pan or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease each cavity or the surface of the skillet with ghee or cooking spray. This will prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • Pour a spoonful of batter into each cavity or onto the skillet, spreading it slightly to form a thin circle. The batter should naturally spread to form the characteristic lacy edges.
    Mango Appam
  • Cover the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is cooked through. Covering the pan traps steam and helps the appams cook evenly and become fluffy.
  • Remove the appams from the pan and serve immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • The appam was made with ripe mango puree for natural sweetness, without any added sugar.

Expert Tips

  • For a smoother batter, blend the mango puree with the other wet ingredients before adding the dry ingredients.
  • If you don't have ripe mangoes, you can substitute with mashed banana or applesauce, adjusting the sugar accordingly.
  • To prevent sticking, lightly grease the appam pan with oil or cooking spray before each appam.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover appams in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a microwave or on a lightly oiled skillet.
