ReplyDeletebeautiful cuties....
Lovely dish
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking unniyappams. They look perfect.
ReplyDeleteLovely presentation, this wss in my list but didn't get time so changed recipe. Delicious unniappam.
ReplyDeleteThey have come out very good. I am sure they taste heavenly as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you use nei (ghee) to make these, its called neiappam. The banana enhances the flavor, but the appam ends up drinking a lot of oil, so it can be opted out too. Addition of rava also yields in good appams.
ReplyDeleteOn the whole, your appam lot looks nice and soft and just perfect :-)
Lovely snack Padma.Its a long time since I made these. Thanks for reminding me :)
ReplyDeleteBookmarked Padma. Will give them a try.
