should I soak poha?
yes, this step is essential for the pillow-soft aval inipu appam so pls don’t skip it. I would recommend soaking in hot water. Always use thick Aval as it soaks and still doesn’t melt
Jaggery water
most of the time jaggery contains impurities so I prefer preparing jaggery water; filtering then using it for poha sweet appam. avoid string consistency

Just replace sugar with jaggery and follow the rest
CAN I REDUCE JAGGERY?
You can adjust according to your taste
should I rest before grinding?
Yes, jaggery water will be hot so always cool then grind

grinding the batter gives a smooth texture and taste to the appam also it adds an extra fluffiness to the batter. Avoid grinding for a long time. If the batter turns hot, appam might turn chewy/rubbery.

Resting sweet appam batter is a must for soft and spongy. It gives the best texture and taste.
