Chettinadu Kandarappam Recipe By Masterchefmom | Kandarappam Recipe | Gluten Free And Vegan Dessert

 

Hi Supermoms,

Don’t we all love a delicious dessert that can be served even as a snack?

Our rich culinary history is filled with some lip smacking recipes. One such amazing recipe comes from the Chettinadu Cuisine - the Kandarappam. 

Kandarappam is made using freshly ground batter of rice and jaggery. I promise you that when you try this recipe, it will transport you to Chettinadu. 

The most important step is to grind the Kandarappam batter correctly. Do not add any water while grinding. The minute we add jaggery, it loosens the batter and gives the batter required moisture. Just make sure that the batter is ground smoothly .

Now, without delay, let’s start cooking.

Chef tips: Do not disturb the appam while frying for the first few seconds. Then gently pour oil on top of the appals so that they puff up. Once one side is done, flip and cook the other side.

  7. Drain the Kandarappam on a kitchen towel and follow the same procedure for the remaining batter.
