Instant rawa paddu / quick appos




Special thanks to Smitha for this lipsmacking and instant recipe. Whenever you run out of thoughts as in what needs to be cooked for breakfast/dinner you can always pick this recipe for your rescue ;). and believe me it's very easy and yummy too :)

Ingredients :

Sooji Rava - 1 cup
Rice flour - 1/4of a cup
Thin variety Rice flakes / poha -1 small cup
Chana dal/Bengal gram– 2 tbsps soaked (optional though I haven't used it here)
Butter milk / Curd +water mix- 1 Glass
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Jeera - 1 tsp
Finely chopped onion - 1 cup
Finely chopped dil leaves - 1 cup (optional)
Finely chopped Green chilli – 2-4
Finely chopped ginger - 1 tsp
Finely chopped curry leaves
Finley chopped coriander leaves
Salt
Oil  

Method :

Wash the poha and add little water so that it absorbs the water. Keep this for 5 mins and then mash well.

In a bowl add rava, rice flour, poha mixture.

Add chana dal, baking soda, jeera and curds. Keep this mixture aside for 30 mins.

Now add onions, dil leaves, green chilli, ginger, curry leaves, corriander leaves, salt and mix well. The batter should be thick like milkshake.

Heat the paddu pan on medium heat. Put a few drops of oil in each hollow of the pan, so that the batter does not stick to the pan. 

Pour the batter into each hollow of the pan and cover the pan.Let the paddu cook on medium - low  heat.You will notice the top is steamed and looked cooked. When the top looks cooked and bottom would have turned golden brown, turn the paddu with help of a small spoon. Allow it to cook uncovered for another couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and follow the same procedure with the rest of batter.
