Surul aapam

My grandmother used to make surul aapam, and I would love to have it when I came back from school. It is so simple to make, that I learnt the recipe by just watching her make it.

What you need

For the roll

Maida flour - 1 cup

Rice flour - 1 tbsp

Water, enough to make a dosa-batter consistency - 1/2 cup

Salt and baking soda - 1/4 tsp

For the filling

Grated coconut - 1 cup

Grated jaggery or sugar - 1/2 cup

Cardamom pods, ground - 3-5

Grated nuts, optional – a few

Cooking instructions

Prepare the batter with the given ingredients and mix the ingredients of the filling in a separate bowl. Make a small thin dosa, as crisp as possible.

Fill it with a spoon full of the mixture and roll it.

Your surul aapam is ready to eat.
