Instant sweet paniyaram recipe using whole wheat flour. These wheat flour appam are quick to make any time as it simplifies the entire process of soaking and grinding rice, the way it is made in the traditional method. I have added a banana to enhance the sweet flavor and can also be skipped.
These Instant sweet paniyaram are best prepared with fresh coconut and cooked in ghee. I made these a few months ago during one of the festival days for the evening Naivedyam. These also make a quick evening snack for the kids after their school and also go well in the school box.
These turn out to be a bit dense without the addition of soda, if not making for offering then do use soda. It helps to make them slightly lighter.
There is a small quantity of rice flour added in this recipe, if you do not eat rice on certain days then you can replace it with bombay rava or chiroti rava.

How to make Whole wheat flour sweet appam
1. Heat half cup water in a pan. Switch off and add grated jaggery or karupatti. I used raw jaggery.
2. Stir and dissolve it completely.
3. This is the ripe banana I used. It weighed about 110 grams (with skin on) and was 6 inches long. We are adding banana only to enhance the sweet flavor. Using too much banana may make them very dense, so giving you more details about size and weight. You can reduce the quantity of banana.
4. Mash the banana very well.
5. Filter the jaggery syrup.
6. Add coconut and cardamom powder.
7. Add rice flour and wheat flour. Mix very well and make a thick batter using more water as needed.
8. Make sure the batter is of thick but pouring consistency and has to be lump free. Whisk very well for a minute.
9. Grease your paniyaram pan very well. Add ghee as desired and heat it.
10. Fill the moulds upto 3/4 level with batter.
11. Cover and cook for few minutes. Check if the base if firm and has been cooked to golden. Then flip them with a skewer, chop stick or wooden spoon and cook until completely cooked or the edges turn brown.
12. You can flip them again to make them slightly crisp.
Serve sweet paniyaram hot or cold as desired.

Thank you so much for this delicious recipe….. By the way what is Idli rava.? In my area no grocer keep this….. Can we replace it with arwa chaawal or usnaa chaawal….. Pls suggest
Welcome Nikki
Idli rava is suji made of idli rice i.e short grain parboiled rice. Usna chawal is parboiled rice but it can be short grain or long grain. Usually long grain usna chawal doesn’t make good idli and dosas. But you didn’t mention for which recipe you want to use.
may i know where you bought this paniyaram kal(paniyaram tava)?
Hi Deepa
I bought in Takashimaya Singapore.
Made by Japanese Brand – Iwachu,
Made of cast iron & very heavy than the regular paniyaram kal we get in India.
Hope these help
is it possible to get the pan in India,if yes how?
I am not sure Deepa. Actually I would not suggest anyone to buy that as it is very heavy to handle. You can try to order online
