Neyyappam – Rice Pancake
Neyyappam is another type of Indian pancake (sweet) which is made in Kerala. I had a neighbour called Aartee who is a wonderful cook. She make this sweet often especially for her two year old kid, Arya. Whenever she made neyyappam she used to give me some because I am a big fan of it. Now that she moved to Miami, I miss it. Finally, I got the recipe from her and started doing this delicious appams. Here you go…
This is my entry for Kids food event which is conducted by vanamala of Nalapaka.blogspot.com.
Ingredients:
- Rice flour – 1 1/4 cup
- Banana – 2
- Jaggery – 1 cup
- Coconut – 3 tbsp
- whole cashew nuts – a handful
- Raisins – a handful
- Cardamom – 3
- Ghee – to fry
Method of preparation:
- Heat 1/4 cup of water in a pan, add jaggery to it and allow it to boil
- In between, mash the bananas and mix with rice flour
- Once the jaggery starts boiling add coconut and ground cardamom to it
- After it starts thickening, remove from heat and keep it aside
- Add raisins and broken cashews to the rice flour, combine it and then the jaggery when it come down to room temperature
- Mix it well with your hands to avoid clinging of flour
- Heat the paniyara kadai and fill it with ghee (1/2 tsp in each) and add a tbsp of batter in each pot
- Turn both the sides and fry
- The first set of paniyarams may give you burnt look and smell. To avoid this use more ghee (3/4 tsp) only for the first set of paniyarams and cook at medium or less than medium heat
- Cook the remaining set of paniyarams following the procedure
🙂 Serve hot or at room temperature.

Hey Gayu, thanq for having my paniyaram in ur website, as for adding other fruits i tried with apple and it was a flop. i am sure that it won’t be bad with dry fruits that r sweet and not sour…so u can tell ur fans to try dryfruits and that it surely will work!
Great job,
Thank you

I think south part of the kerala its called Kuzhiyappam, Difference is the cavity in the frying pan, Neiyyappam does not have cavity, its fried one at a time… I think so, right?
yes.this is karayappam or unniappam. for neyyappam batter is same.
Hi Chettan and mini, Thanks for your comments. But in my place, we do it in the appakaral which is the paniyara kadai as shown in the picture. This version of Neyyappam is something that will attract the both kids and adults because of the dry fruits.
Hi Nithu:
Thank you for posting. But I would like to pass some comments regarding the neiappan dish. It is orgin from Chettinadu cuisine (Karaikudi area), it is called Kuzhiparniyarum. You might be get familiar to this item by kerala cusine.
