Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ½ cup Semolina
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 tsp Flax Seeds
- ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup Mango Puree
- 2 Tbsp Coconut grated
- 2 Tbsp Cream fresh
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- These mango appams can be enjoyed as a delightful dessert or a wholesome snack. They also make a great addition to a festive spread.
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.
