    Paniyaram is also called appe, appo, paddu, appa, appam, unniyappam in different Indian languages. Paniyaram, prepared with rice and urad dal, is one of the famous South Indian breakfast recipes.

    Sweet Paniyaram (appo) is popularly served in temples, especially during Sankashti Chaturthi and Ganesh Chaturthi. It is considered Ganapati Bappa's favorite food along with modak.

    Konkanis love anything prepared with jackfruit, and thus they store the harvested jackfruit in jaggery syrup and then keep it in the freezer so that they can use it year-round. Ponsa mulik (donut holes with jackfruit) is the most loved jackfruit recipe of Konkanis in the Mangalore & Udupi region.

    The below recipe is an instant sweet version of appe or fried dumpling prepared using seasonal jackfruit (chakka, halasina hannu) that people of all age groups will love. When jackfruit is not in season, overripe bananas can be used to make these appe or appas.

    To make the best appas with crispy edges and soft melt-in-mouth texture inside, cook them on medium flame. Do not be in a hurry while making appes.

    All you need is to grind the jaggery, coconut, and jackfruit to a smooth paste. At this point, taste the paste and adjust the jaggery depending on the sweetness of the jackfruit.

    To this, add wheat flour, semolina, baking soda, salt, cardamom powder, roasted cashews, and mix with water to form a batter.

    Now cook this in an appe pan on both sides and serve hot with desi ghee.

    What pan can I use to cook appe (paniyaram, paddu, unniyappam)?

    To cook appe or paniyaram any of the following pan can be used: appe pan, appampatra pan, paniyaram pan, puff pancake pan, aebleskiver pan, paniyarakal pan, takoyaki pan, etc.

    If you do not have any of the above, you can also make mini dosas with the same batter on a non-stick pan.

    Tips

    • Adding cashews is optional. It is only going to enhance the taste. I generally roast the cashews in ghee and add.
    • Depending on the sweetness of jackfruit, you can increase jaggery up to ¾ cup
    • Fresh or dry or frozen grated coconut can be added.
    • You can even add finely chopped coconut bits for additional flavor.
    • Please cook this only in ghee to get that authentic taste.
    • Canned ripe jackfruit also can be used.

    Make this appes or appam this Janmashtami or Ganesh Chaturthi if jackfruits are in season or if you have stored the jackfruit in the freezer and surprise your guests.
