A perfect snack when one is short of time, provided the legwork is done ahead! This savoury Undappam recipe has many variations and terms across South India: Paniyaram, Ponganalla, Gundappa, Appe... It allows for many combinations seen in the fermented rice-urad dal batter that is the one of the staples of South Indian cuisine.
The recipe follows a friend's mom's recipe that was a favourite tiffin-box treat for us. The original recipe for Undappam is followed here; just added onions, finely chopped green chillies with a tempering of mustard, urad dal seeds, red chillies, pinch of asafoetida and curry leaves.

ReplyDeletemadhuri, I use a traditional Indian Iron Kaarol. This was seasoned for me very generously on wood-fire stoves with oil for sometime.
I cook on medium high heat; turn down the heat if you feel it is too high, then turn it back to medium high.
I wait until the edges are done and the center is runny and gently flip it over. I think the hardness might be due to the ratio or rice-urad dal, perhaps?
something similar to panniyaaram we make...loved the pic!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice time!

Thanks Preeti, Paula!
ReplyDeleteDear Q
ReplyDeleteHow come I did not get this posting on my dashboard and the peaches too? In fact I read your lovely comment on my blog and came here to see that I had missed this..
I read the recipe at Roza's ..But I dont have appam mould :-( , How can I make it? Let me find out where to buy one in Delhi. I like this dish very much
Have a nice weekend
Thankyou Ushnishda!
ReplyDeleteThings just got onto a different track on short notice, so not much time to spend on the blog.
The Appam Mould: there are several non-stick varieties available in the market. Any Kerala-store should have it, especially in Delhi.
In the western markets, there is something known as cast iron Aebleskiver/Ebelskiver pan, used for sweet Danish breakfast pastries.
Nice.. It is interesting how we call it by so many name. We have it on our blog by the name of paniyaram.. nice recipe.
