Ingredients for Unniyappam Recipe
Ripe Banana :As bananas ripen, the starch transforms into sugars, which are easier to digest. Cooking bananas with yellow or orange flesh is high in provitamin A carotenoids, which are vitamin A precursors. As bananas ripen, the flesh colour changes and the provitamin A carotenoids reach their peak levels. Jaggery / Sarkarai / Vellam :Depending on its composition, jaggery can taste like fresh cane juice, maple syrup, caramel, or molasses. The unrefined natural sweetener is available in a variety of colours, including light amber, golden brown, and dark brown. Jaggery is known by many different names, including gur in Urdu, gud in Hindi, and vellam in Tamil. Cardamom Powder / Yelakai Podi: Cardamom Powder is an all-natural spice that can be used to sweeten dishes as well as flavour coffee and tea. It is also used in traditional Indian and Middle Eastern cooking, as well as Scandinavian baking. Follow me on Instagram, Facebook,Pinterest ,Youtube and Twitter for more Yummy Tummy inspiration.
