How to make Karuppatti Kuzhipaniyaram / Palm Jagerry Appe?
Wash the rice and dal, add the fenugreek and soak in water for 3 hours. Grind them in a blender to very fine smooth batter adding very less water. The batter should be as thick as possible. Allow it to ferment for overnight or 7 hours. Add some water to jagerry and boil it for some time. Filter it and remove the residues.
After it becomes warm add it to the batter and mix well. Now the batter comes to pour in consistency. Add the salt and grated coconut and stir. Heat the Appe pan and grease it with oil or ghee of 1/4 tea spoon for each crater..
Pour 1 table spoon of batter in all the craters. Drizzle some oil or ghee around. Close the pan with a lid and wait for 2 minutes. Once they get cooked flip off them to the other side. After 3 minutes take them out and serve hot.
