Rava Maida Appam, an easy to make snack with rava and maida. As Karthigai deepam is nearby , I have seen a lot of appam recipes online that are used to prepare especially for this festival.

In our home, normally we prepare kozhukattai on karthiga deepam. Though we don't have the habit of making any appam on karthigai deepam day, we make this appam for diwali, aadi festival or even as evening snacks.

In my school days, Amma used to make this as evening snacks and I liked it so much back then(of course now also). More than the appam, I liked the batter so much and asked Amma to keep some batter aside without frying.

I liked to have the batter as it is with a spoon. Yeah, it's a weird habit, but i like it so much. Still, I reserve a little batter when I'm making this appam and still i like to eat the batter. You can't get over certain habits right :-) ??

Ok, now back to the recipe, if you're looking for an easy appam recipe for this karthigai deepam, here it is! It's so easy to make with the basic ingredients and tastes absolutely delicious.

Rava Maida Appam

Preparation Time : 20 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Makes : 12 to 14
Recipe Category: Sweets | Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients
Rava/Semolina - 1/2 cup
Maida - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/3 cup
Grated Coconut - 2 to 3 tbsp
Cardamom - 2
Oil - for deep frying
Water - as needed

Procedure

Measure the rava and take it in a bowl, add enough water just to immerse the rava and let it set aside for 30- 40 mins.

After 40 mins, all the water would be absorbed,at this stage, add sugar and maida.

Then add the grated coconut and mix it well. Let it set aside for 15 to 20 mins. The resting time helps to dissolve the sugar. Don't tempt to add water now,once the sugar dissolves, the batter comes to pourable consistency.

Finally add the crushed cardamom seeds into the rava maida mixture and mix it well. The batter should be thick and pourable(if needed add water now and make it as pourable consistency) as shown in below pic.
