Notes
Overripe banana works best as it gives necessary softness, water to the batter.
I used long variety, it was not overripe so had to add some water. The batter should be like the idli dosa batter. If too thick add water accordingly.
If deep frying, no need to add cooking soda. Or if you want to skip soda, make it smaller so that inside of the appam gets cooked.
Use two banana if you use the small variety.
Cook in medium or low flame to ensure inside of the appam gets cooked.
If using jaggery, powder roughly and then measure.
