Ingredients :
Thick Poha (Avvalakki) - 1 Cup
Rice (Sona Masoori) - 3 Cups
Thick plain Yoghurt (Curd) - 1/2 Cup
Fenugreek (Methi) seeds - 1 tsp
Ghee as required
(either cast iron or non-stick)
Method :
- Soak poha, rice and methi seeds overnight.
- Grind to a fine smooth paste the next day using as less water as possible.
- Heat the aapam pan. (If using a non-stick pan you don’t need to oil much, but if you
are using a cast iron pan, add about ¼ tsp of oil to each pit. )
- Using a ladle pour batter into each pit.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 2 mins.
- When the sides of each paddu are set, using a spoon flip each paddu to cook on the
other side (insides).
- You will know when the sides are set by slowly running the spoon along the edges, it
will not be sticky once its fully cooked and will come out easily.
- Cook for 30 seconds or so on the other side and remove paddus from pan and serve.
