The appam maker has changed my life to a great extent. I keep on trying many things with it. Bottle gourd appam is one among them. Very simple, healthy and tasty to make.
Let us start cooking!!!
Ingredients:
Semolina (Sooji): 1 cup
Curd: ½ cup
Water: ¼ cup
Groundnut Oil: 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds: 1 tsp
Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
Curry leaves: 5-6
Red chilly powder: 1 tsp
Bottle Gourd: 1 cup (Grated)
Sesame seeds: 2-3 tsp
Salt as per taste
Method:
1. Mix together sooji, curd, bottle gourd and salt.
2. In a small pan heat oil.
3. Add mustard seeds. Let them splutter. After that add cumin seeds and fry for a few seconds.
4. Add the curry leaves and then red chilly powder.
5. Pour this tadka into the sooji batter.
6. Mix well.
7. The batter should be of medium consistency.
8. Keep it aside for 1-2 hours.
9. Heat appam maker.
10. Put few drops of oil into it and then add sesame seeds. Let the seeds splutter.
11. Take a small batch of batter into another bowl and add ½ tsp of fruit salt or eno.
12. Mix well. With the help of a spoon pour little into each cavity of appam maker.
13. Keep the flame low- medium.
14. Cover with lid and let the appams cook.
15. After 5-7 minutes open the lid and invert the appams (they must have turned golden brown) and then again let them cook covered for 5-6 minutes.
16. Take them out on a plate and similarly cook another batch.
17. Enjoy them hot with chutneys, ketchup or just like that.
Tips:
1. Apart from bottle gourd you can add any vegetable of your choice.
2. Depending upon the choice of vegetables the water quantity has to be adjusted.
