Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 5 slices Wheat Bread
- 2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Semolina sooji/rava
Instructions
- Pulse the bread slices in a food processor until finely crumbed. Set aside.
- Dry roast the rolled oats in a pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. This enhances their nutty flavor. Add the semolina and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Lightly pulse the toasted oats and semolina mixture in a food processor or grinder for a few seconds. Do not over-grind. Combine the ground oat mixture, bread crumbs, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the fresh curd (yogurt) and enough water to the dry ingredients to achieve a thick, pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter. Mix well to ensure no lumps remain.
- Heat a non-stick kuzhipaniyaram (appe) pan over medium heat. Lightly grease each cavity with oil.
- Fill each cavity of the pan about halfway with the batter. They will puff up during cooking. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of each kuzhipaniyaram.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 3 minutes. The lid traps the heat and ensures even cooking.
- Carefully flip each kuzhipaniyaram and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked kuzhipaniyaram from the pan and serve hot with your favorite mint or coriander chutney.
- Enjoy!
