Oats Kaara Appam

Oats Kaara Appam is a very tasty and interesting tiffin. This recipe makes 28+ appams. I got this recipe from here and we loved it..




Ingredients
Oil – ½ tea spoon per appam
Salt – 1 ¾ tea spoon
Onion (diced) – 1 cup
Green Chili – 2
Red Chili – 6
Coriander Seeds – ½ tea spoon
Fennel Seeds – ½ tea spoon
Cumin Seeds – ½ tea spoon
Coriander Leaves (chopped fine) – ½ cup
Curry Leaves (Chopped) – 6
Ginger (grated) – 1 tea spoon
Kadalai Parupu – ½ cup
Tuvaram Parupu / Toor Dal – ½ cup
Ulutham Parupu / Urad Dal – 2 table spoons
Paasi Parupu / Moong Dal – 2 table spoons
Oats – 1 ½ cups
Asafetida – ¼ tea spoon

Method
Soak all the parupus in warm water for at least 3 hours. Can also soak overnight. Grind together oats, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, red chili, green chili, coriander seeds, salt, asafetida to a fine powder
Transfer to a big mixing bowl. Grind the parupus to a coarse paste, adding very little water as needed
Add the parupus paste to the mixing bowl and add onion, coriander leaves, curry leaves and grated ginger
Once all the above are well blended, heat the appam pan and pour ½ tea spoon oil in each dimple
Add water to the parupus mixture to a scoop able consistency – little thinner vadai maavu and not like idli maavu. You should be able to scoop the batter
Scoop the batter to fill each dimple in the appam pan
Cover with a lid and cook on medium low heat for 4 minutes, If the bottom side is light golden, flip them and cook covered on medium low for another 3 minutes until both sides are done. It can take up to 6 or 7 minutes each side. Before removing from heat, check with a skewer to ensure that they are cooked inside out.
Transfer to a plate and serve it hot or at room temperature with spicy chutney. I served it with tomato onion chutney and it was great!!!
