Today I am going to share the secret of traditional Kerala Snack 'Unni Appam' or 'Karol Appam'. Unni appam resembles small pancakes. You can find the recipe  anywhere on Internet and many might have  succeeded in making these delicious and healthy dumplings. But this is my recipe;after desperately  trying to bring back the taste of Unni appam that my Grand Mother (we call her Ammamma) used to make for us,children.She didn't know how to show her love for us,but with the taste of her special snacks, her love was conveyed to us. I am sure it is impossible to recreate the same taste,since that special "kaipunyam" ended with her demise. (Kaipunyam is a Malayalam word which  means 'having gifted hands') So let's  try to bring back that taste... nostalgic to many of you ,today.. Ingredients Raw rice -2 cups Jaggery-200g Banana-1 no Plain Flour-2tbsp Ghee-1tbsp Black sesame seeds-2tsp Coconut pieces-2tbsp Method of prepa...
