whilst i am living here in australia, i am exposed to several international cuisines which i can only imagine in my hometown. having said that, the downside is i have to miss several delicacies which are typically prepared and enjoyed in my birthplace. especially i miss those recipes prepared with tropical fruits and vegetables. for example, it has been ages since i have enjoyed jackfruit based idli or appa/mulka. but thankfully i can enjoy banana appam recipe here with the several available banana flavours. well, i personally like the jackfruit based appa but balehannu mulka or appa is quite a match.this south indian cuisine dish is usually prepared as a snack for the celebration feast.

furthermore, some important tips, recommendations and serving suggestions for banana appam recipe. firstly, i would always recommend using ripe banana for this recipe. raw or just ripe bananas do not infuse the same amount of flavour to this appa recipe. secondly, i personally like the recipe with less sweet so have added just quarter cup of jaggery. however, if you consider your bananas less sweet you are more than welcome to add extra jaggery or sugar to it. lastly, the typical recipe involves deep-frying these small dumpling in a hot oil, but as an alternative, you can use paniyaram pan or appe pan too.
