Ragi Appam

One more experimentation from my rasoi. 


Ingredients:

Ragi seeds - 3 cup
Raw rice/dosa rice -2 cups
Urad dhal - 1/2 cup
Sugar -5 tspn (add while grinding the rice)

Soak rice + ragi and urad dhaal separate for almost 5 hrs.

Grind them to a smooth batter . While grinding add a handful of poha too to get smooth appams. 

In a small katori add some warm water and 1 tspn of sugar and mix well. Add a pinch of yeast to this ..wait till yeast dissolve completely. Add this to the grinded batter and mix well with up/down strokes. Leave it to ferment .once the batter is raised add salt and make appams in normal way.

Serve with the curry of your choice.

Chop the leaves to small and blanch it in warm water for a few seconds
Sweet corn -1 cup (grinded coarsely) 
Green peas -2 tbsp
Mashed potato -2 nos
Onion -1 medium chopped
Carrot -1 small grated
salt as required
gharam masala -1/2 tspn
pepper powder -a pinch
Mix everything together with mashed potato. if it is not binding properly can add 1 or 2 bread slices or can add maida flour also. 

Make to small patties and roll on a batter of maida flour +corn flour+salt +cheese+tomato ketchup.
Roll on bread crumbs and fry.
