About Rava Appam

Sweet Rava Appam is fried in ghee/Oil. Sweet Rava Appam originated in Kerala, a southern Indian state, and coastal Karnataka. The name is derived from the Tamil word appam, which means pancake.

Appam is typically made with rice flour (or Sooji), jaggery, ghee-fried coconut (either pieces or grated), ghee, cardamom, and milk. It is typically served as a tea time snack in the evenings. In Kerala, Neyyappam is also served as an offering in Hindu temples. Some Christian groups in Kerala have also adopted this practise. Unniappam is a variation in which mashed ripe plantains or bananas are mixed into the batter before being fried into a ball-like shape.
