Ingredients
    . 1Ethapazham/Nethram pazham/Ripe plantain
    . 1 cup all purpose flour or maida
    .  1 tsp sugar
    .   1/4 tsp baking soda
    . A pinch of salt
    . About 3/4 cup of water
    . A pinch of turmeric powder
    .  Coconut oil to deep fry
INSTRUCTION:
          1. Place the flour in a wide bowl.
          2. Add  sugar ,salt and baking soda. I used brown sugar but white sugar works perfect too.
          3. Add about 1/2 cup water and adjust as you go .to make a batter that's slightly more watery than dosa batter.It shouldn't be too thin.otherwise,the appams will be too oily
          4.Add in a pinch of turmeric powder . This is only meant for the color bit and doesn't change the taste or flavour in any way.
           5. Some people add jeere to ethakka appam.I personally don't like bitting into them but feel free to add it in if you want.
           6.Cut the plantain in to half and then  slice each half midway vertically.Further slice each of the quarters into 2-3 thin pieces.Dunk these into the batter.
           7.heat the coconut oil until its all bubbly. you have to use coconut oil for the authentic taste,Anything else is a blasphemy so don't tell me if you used vegetable oil or shudder olive oil.
           8.I used a super small kadal so that I need only very  little oil and that reduces wastage.
           9.When the oil is just short of smoking hot ,add in the banana pieces coated with the batter.
           10. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper napkins.
           11. serve pazham pori hot with tea.

serve hot pazham pori with tea.the pazham pori get soggy and the coating gets chewy and soft once cold so it is best served warm.But when i was a kid .I used to wait till it got cold and chewy.For pazham pori recipe in malayalam,Tamil,Hindi,Telungu,kannada,urdu,please use the google translate button in the sidebar.
