DISH NAME : PAZHAM KINNATHAPPAM( STEAMED BANANA CAKE)
Preparation Time : 15 minutes
Cooking Time : 15 minutes
Description
"Kinnam" means a plate, with small edges. "Appam" means, cake. Usually kinnathappam is made with rice flour. Pazham kinnathappam is made by mixing in steamed banana to rice flour.
Note
1. I've used Kerala banana known as nendrapazham. Have not made with any other bananas.
2. I've used very well ripe banana.
3. I've used organic jaggery. Adjust qty. of jaggery according to the sweetness. Also since this jaggery does not have impurities it is used directly. In case of normal jaggery, melt with about 1/4 cup water & strain for impurities.
4. In this recipe either roasted or unroasted rice flour can be used as banana will make the steamed cake soft.
5. If steaming in a pressure cooker, do not use weight.
