Wheat Appam | Gothumai Appam

by Divya's Nalabhagam on Tuesday, August 27, 2019 in Krishnajayanthirecipes, Vinayagar Chaturthi festival

How to make Instant Wheat appam or Gothumai appam recipe

Wheat appam, also known as gothumai appam, is a delectable and simple instant appam variation. Traditionally, appam is made solely with raw rice. However, in this recipe, I have substituted with whole wheat flour. Additionally, instead of cooking the appams directly in oil which is a time consuming process as we can fry only one appam at a time, I have opted to use a Paniyaram kadai. You can choose whichever method you prefer. Appam is a beloved prasadham (offering) for Lord Ganesha and Krishna so making this wheat appam a perfect choice for the upcoming Vinayagar Chaturthi or Krishna Janmashtami festival.

Check out how to make this instant wheat appam or gothumai appam recipe below.

Ingredients

Wheat flour -1 cup
Rice flour -1/4 cup
Jaggery syrup -1/2 cup
Banana -1 no
Cardamom powder a pinch
Salt a pinch
Ghee-1 tbsp

Recipe Video

Method

👉In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients except ghee.Mix well .Add water little by little and make a slightly thick batter.

👉Heat paniyaram kadai add little ghee on each mould.Now pour a small laddle full of batter in to the moulds.

👉Cook in medium flame until you get a nice golden brown colour.Flip and cook on other side as well.

👉Remove the wheat appam from the moulds.serve.
