Vellaiappam recipe, uppappam

   Vellaiappam recipe,Uppappam | Morappam recipe with step by step pictures and video, is a deep fried snack made using rice and urad dal as the main ingredients. My mom makes on Diwali morning along with breakfast. In my in – laws place nobody knows about this and after 11 years of our marriage this is the first time i made at my home and my hubby and kids liked this very much.
    Sometimes my mom makes with left over idli batter and that will absorb a lot of oil. This Vellaiappam is quite famous in Madurai. During our childhood days we used to go the famous Madurai Gopu Iyengar kadai and relish this vellai appam with getti chutney.

  • Add this to the batter.
  • Add yogurt too.
  • Add salt and mix well.
  • Allow the batter to sit for half an hour. Let this get fermented slightly.
  • Heat the oil in a pan. 
  • When it becomes hot, keep the flame in medium.

  • Cook till it turns golden brown.
  • Drain excess oil in a kitchen tissue.
  • Serve hot with Getti chutney.

Notes:
  • Do not add too much water while grinding and if the batter becomes watery it will absorb more oil.
  • If the yogurt is sour you can start frying in the oil . No need to ferment the vellaiappam batter.
