    Hi Padhu,
    Thanks for posting instant appam recipe.
    Looks very nice.
    But I have a small doubt here.
    For Neivedyam, we do not use cooking soda though you have recommended only a pinch.
    Please advise if appam can be done by this method without soda as for neivedyam we will not normally use soda.
    Since Gokulashtami is very close, wanted to have your feedback.
    Thanks,
    Mahalakshmi

      You can do this without cooking soda also. The banana will give the softness needed. Mine was very soft and spongy.

    Thanks so much Padhu for the prompt response.
    This is a much easier method than washing rice, soaking it, grinding it, etc.
    Thanks again,
    Mahalakshmi

    Hi Padhu, I am a great fan of your website. I love all the receipes that you make and try most of them. Just a suggestion from me, Why don't you publish a receipe book with these receipes. I am sure there will be more users who can benefit with the same, like those who don't get net accessibility.

    Dear Padhu, can the appams be deep fried in a normal pan like frying Vadas.

    Hi padhu. I plan to make these appams for neivedyam today for kartigai deepam. But don't have banana. Is it okay without that and of course we don't use cooking soda. Please advice

      You cannot omit banana as it is banana which gives softness to this appam. I have another traditional neyyappam. Check that also Neyyappam with jaggery

      Rice flour gives crispness. You can skip if you do not want to add.

      Banana and soda gives softness to the appam. Do not omit banana as it gives a nice taste to the appams.

It came out clean. it's kind of sticky not on like regular rice paniyarams that we make. Can you suggest on wat needs to be done

      This appam comes out very well. The consistency of the batter is important. It should not be too thick nor too thin. A small banana is enough for this. I am not sure where you went wrong.
