- 1 cup Jaggery grated or finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Water to dissolve jaggery; adjust as needed for desired consistency
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 tbsp Gulkand rose petal preserve

Instructions
Prepare the Jaggery Syrup
- Dissolve the jaggery in 1/4 cup of warm water until a smooth syrup forms.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, gently combine the appam batter, jaggery syrup, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
Prepare the Paan Filling
- In a separate bowl, mix together the gulkand, fennel seeds, desiccated coconut, and finely chopped betel leaves.
Bake the Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a muffin tin with silicone cupcake liners. Fill the liners about halfway with the appam batter. Sprinkle some of the paan filling over the top of each cupcake.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Garnish
- Let the cupcakes cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, garnish each cupcake with a small spoonful of the remaining paan filling and, optionally, chopped pistachios or a drizzle of extra gulkand.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Paan Appam Cupcakes!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For the best results, use a good quality appam batter. You can find pre-made batter in many Indian grocery stores.
- Adjust the amount of gulkand to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet cupcake, reduce the amount.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cupcakes. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
- If you don't have silicone cupcake liners, you can use paper liners or grease the muffin tin well.
