Ingredients:

· Rice – 2 cups

· Fenugreek seeds – ¼ tsp

· Grated Coconut – 1 cup

· Thin Poha – 1 cup

· Jaggery – ¾ cup

· Cardamom pods – 3-4

· Salt – ¼ tsp

· Water – to adjust the consistency

· Oil for frying

Method:

· Wash the rice and fenugreek seeds thoroughly, soak it for 4 hours or overnight.

· Take a mixer jar add the strained rice, grated coconut, poha, jaggery, cardamom pods, salt and very little water.

· This batter requires no fermentation. Adjust the consistency of the batter if required, do not make it very thin. It will absorb too much of oil.

· Heat oil in a kadai. Let it boil.

· Now pour spoonful of batter in the oil. Keep the flame on medium heat.

· After some time, it will puff up. Slowly turn and cook it on the other side too.

· Once it turns golden brown in colour take it out.

· Make more yeriappa's in the same way and offer it as naivedyam.
