Kanaka Durgamma( Goddess Durga ) in Vijayawada,Courtesy, Kanaka durga tenple
Happy Dussehra everyone. Dasara is a festival , celebrating the victory of good over evil. In India, this is the longest celebrated festival, 10 days, ( Dus means 10 ) and a very important and celebrated pomp and grand. Durga maa( Goddess ) is worshipped in different avatars every day during Dasara ( Vijaya dasami, Dussehra ) like, Bala tripura sundari, Mahuishasura mardini, Annapoorna, Kali, Raja Rajeswari, Kanaka Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati and Gayatri devi.
The Durga maa temple in Vijayawada( Kanakadurga temple / Indra keeladri ), is very famous for Dasara and lakhs of people visit this temple during these ten days. I myself believe her a lot and have been to this temple numerous times. I have been making prasadam/naivedyam( offering to god ) these days, and here are Bellam Neyyi Appam/Appalu made with Whole wheat flour, Clarified butter and Jaggery(gur ). They say Durga ma likes this a lot.
This is my first time making these for the goddess as naivedyam, so i haven't measured anything exactly. I just eyeballed everything and you need to adjust according to your taste and requirement.
Ingredients for Appam( Appalu ):
- Jaggery/Bellam/Gur
- Whole wheat flour / Atta / Goduma pindi
- Ghee / Neyyi (Nei)/ Clarified butter for frying
- Whole Cardamom or Elaichi
- Water
How to make Nethi bellam appam:
- Grate gur/bellam or just shave using a knife and then add it to say a glass of water.
- Gur should completely dissolve into water, to speed up the process you can even boil the mixture until the gur is completely dissolved
- Heat ghee in kadai under medium flame
- Once dissolved add crushed cardamom/elaichi and then mix in atta/whole wheat flour. The batter should be thicker than pancake batter.
- Once the ghee is heated enough, with a spoon drop in the batter, and once they are golden brown remove from the pan, and dry them on paper towels.

Sweet Dosa ~ Whole Wheat Eggless Orange Pancakes ~ Thiyyappachi
10 COMMENTS Posted by KALVA at 1:42:00 AMLooking for something sweet, crispy, quick, easy and healthy recipe? Here are my whole wheat eggless sweet pancakes aka Sweet Dosa. We call this dosa thiyyappachi. This was our favorite evening snack as a kid and mom used to serve these dosas when we were home hungry from school. These pancakes can be served as breakfast too and im sure kids would leave to school asking for more. These are super easy with a very few ingredients and tastes great too. My brother after coming home from school used to add sugar in water and once melted give it to mom and ask her to make these dosas for him. yep he loves that much!
Ingredients you need: ( All measurements mentioned here are approx quantities, please do adjust )
- 1/2 cup finely ground whole wheat flour ( goduma pindi / atta )
- 2-3 tbsp rice flour
- 1/4 cup sugar( adjust sugar to taste )
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp Zest of an orange
- oil / ghee( clarified butter ) as needed
- 1 - 1 1/2 cup of water
- a pinch of ground nutmeg
- In a bowl, add water and sugar. Let the sugar completely dissolve in water and then keep aside.
- In a mixing bowl stir in whole wheat flour, rice flour, orange zest and salt .
- Whisk in dry ingredients into sugar water making sure there are no lumps inside
- Heat a tawa or griddle, and just pour the batter like you do for rava dosa / ragi dosa, you should not spread it out.
- Dot the edges with ghee( clarified butter ) or oil
- Flip the dosa once its crisp and browned on one side, repeat the same for the other side
- Once completely cooked remove from heat and serve.
This recipe is directly from moms kitchen, but to add some refreshing flavor to these sweet dosas i have added orange zest and this complemented the dosas very well. Adding fresh nutmeg gives unique flavor to the pancakes. Usually nutmeg can complement well with any sweet dishes. I usually like to relish these pancakes hot from the griddle, but these taste good even cold. Please make a note that you need to adjust the amount of ingredients as they are approximate. The best part of these eggless pancakes is that they are fiber rich and super easy!
