Begin by frying coconut slices in ghee until they turn light golden brown. Set them aside.- 3
Next, prepare jaggery syrup by melting jaggery with about two teaspoons of water. Once melted, strain it to remove any impurities and keep it aside to cool.- 4
Mash the ripe bananas into a smooth paste using a blender.- 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, the strained jaggery syrup, mashed bananas, fried coconut slices, and sesame seeds. Mix everything well to form a batter with a consistency similar to idli batter — not too thick, not too runny.- 6
Heat an appa chatti (also called paniyaram pan or unniyappam pan) and add coconut oil to each of the moulds. When the oil is hot, pour the batter into each cavity. Cook on medium heat, turning the unniyappams to ensure both sides are fried evenly to a beautiful golden brown.- 7
Once done, remove and drain excess oil if needed. Your soft and sweet unniyappams are ready to enjoy! - 2
