Preparation :
- Remove the seeds from the jackfruit pods and chop them into tiny pieces.
- Grind chopped jackfruit, grated coconut along with jaggery using blender. Do not add water while grinding and we need a smooth paste of this mixture.
- Transfer grounded paste in a bowl, add semolina, a pinch of salt, roasted cashew nut and crushed cardamom. Add water and adjust the batter to a required consistency. It should be thick but should be of dropping consistency.
- Heat Appam Patram in a medium flame. Add oil into each small moulds and fill them with batter. Close with a lid and cook the dumplings in a low flame.
- You can also use ghee instead of oil. After few minutes open the lid sprinkle few drops of oil/ghee and turn the dumplings. Cook other side of the dumplings same way until you get golden brown color both sides.
- Serve them plain with the cup of hot tea/coffee.
