Heat a paniyaram chatti or appe pan – Æbleskiver pan. Add ½ to 1 teaspoon coconut oil in each mould. Instead of coconut oil you can also use ghee.
With a spoon, pour the batter till ¾ or more than ¾ in each mould. Keep the flame to low or medium and cook the appams. If you want you can cover the pan with a lid.
With a wooden/bamboo stick or skewer, turn over the appams which have become golden.
Do this for the appams which have become golden.
When the rest of the appams are golden, turn them over too and cook all of them till crisp and golden.
You can even flip them once or twice back in the same mould for even cooking.
