Rava guliappa

                                         Rava Guliappa                                                               

Soft ,fluffed guliappa (ponganalu in Telugu and paniyaram in Tamil) is a favorite South Indian breakfast. It is cooked on a special skillet with the moulds. Guliappa is normally made with seasoning left over idli or dosa batter. However in this recipe I have used rava and curd.


Ingredients:
2 cups rava
2 cups yoghurt
1 onion thinly sliced
1 tea spoon of green chili paste
1 strand of curry leaves
1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
A pinch of soda bicarbonate
Salt to taste
Oil for frying guliappa

Preparation:
1. Mix rava and yoghurt together and allow it to ferment over night.
2. The next day mix onion, green chili paste, chopped curry leaves, chopped coriander leaves, salt, soda to the fermented rava and yogurt mixture.
3. Add very little water to bring the batter to dosa batter consistency.
4.  Heat the guliappa skillet.Smear the skillet with oil.
5. Pour the batter into the pan, cover and fry both sides till it is cooked.
6.  Serve with coconut chutney.
