NOTES/TIPS

After adding baking soda to the batter, do not mix the batter hard.  Just give a gentle mix and immediately cook the appams in the paniyaram pan.  Do not rest the batter.

You can also add maida instead of wheat flour.

Add grated coconut to the batter for an enhanced flavour.

You can also deep fry the appams by using a deep curved ladle  or spoon, to add it to the oil.

Pour the batter upto 3/4 th of each mould.

Banana gives a nice flavour and softness to the appams.
