Easy 20 minute Unniappam Recipe - Kerala Sadya Recipe

Easy 20 minute Unniappam - Mirch Masala - Vishu Onam Sadya Kerala Sadya Recipe

I love unniappam. Period.

I am sure that if there is anyone here who has tried this even once, will fall for it.

I have never really made a whole lot of this all these years, as it is a process to make it. Soak rice, grind it, then do the rest of the mixings and all that. I tried once with rice flour but it turned out way to crispy. It did not have that nice soft, almost webby center.

That is when, Amma gave me this recipe when she last visited us when V was born. She and Appa made a whole bunch of this before they left and I savored it for days! It is a recipe she heard of from somewhere and she has now switched to this now. You just have to mix equal amounts of whole wheat flour, rice flour and all purpose flour with melted jaggery, mashed bananas, ground cardamom, copra (dried coconut) slices and fry them in hot oil in the special pan, that resembles an ebelskeiver pan (you can use that too). Toss in some ghee and sugar, once drained or you can just have them as it is.

I made this batch for Janmashtami / Sri Krishna Jayanti (Lord Krishnas Birthday) last weekend and I was able to put it together in less than half hours time!
