Notes

The amount of jaggery you add can be varied based on the sweetness desired and the sweetness of the banana used.
The amount of water may vary based on the brand of flour and the texture.
If you want to skip the banana or baking soda, then check out our authentic temple-style appe or paniyaram recipe. I have also added video for reference.
To make Kerala-style unni appam, add coconut pieces or grated coconut to the batter.
Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight conatiner. Heat it in appe pan with a drizzle of ghee or microwave for 15 sec.
