FAQs
Why does suji appam stick to the pan?
Suji appam can stick to the pan if it’s not greased properly or if the pan isn’t hot enough. To prevent sticking, make sure to grease the pan generously with Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee and allow it to heat properly before pouring in the batter. This will help create a non-stick surface and ensure the appams cook evenly without sticking.
Can I add vegetables or other fillings to the Suji Appam?
Yes, you can definitely add vegetables or other fillings to Suji Appam. Chopped veggies like carrots, peas, onions, or spinach can be mixed into the batter for added flavor and nutrition. You can also stuff the appams with fillings like paneer or mashed potatoes for a delicious twist. Just ensure the filling is finely chopped or cooked before adding to avoid uneven cooking.
Can I make Suji Appam in advance and reheat it later?
Yes, you can make Suji Appam in advance. To store, let them cool completely and then refrigerate in an airtight container. When ready to serve, reheat them in a pan with a little Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee or microwave until warm. This will help maintain their softness and flavor.
Is Suji Appam suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner?
Yes, Suji Appam is versatile and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s a light yet filling dish, perfect for starting your day, as a snack, or paired with a side dish for a wholesome meal. You can customize it with vegetables or fillings to suit any time of day.
What is the best way to serve Suji Appam (with chutney, sambar, or curd)?
Suji Appam is best served with a variety of accompaniments like coconut chutney, sambar, or curd. The crispy texture of the appam pairs wonderfully with the tangy, spicy flavors of chutney or sambar. For a milder option, curd adds a creamy and refreshing contrast, making it a perfect combination for any meal.
