Podi Oothappam | how to make podi uthappam | Easy Breakfast Recipes | Oothappam Recipes

Podi Oothappam / Podi uthappam is one of the simple variety of oothappam which we can for a change. This oothappam I first had in vasantha bhavan in Tambaram and liked it. After that I completely forgot that. Two weeks back, when I checked my Idli milagai podi, I found its crispiness has gone and when I was thinking what to do with the old podi, got the idea of making the podi oothappam and it turned out pretty good. So here is the very simple recipe of Podi Oothappam.

How to make Podi Oothappam

Preparation time: 5 min | Cook Time: 4min | Serves: 1

Recipe Category: Main dish | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

Ingredients

1. Dosa batter - as required

2. Idli milagai Podi / Gun powder - as required

3. Oil - 1 to 2 tsp / oothappam

Method

1. Heat the dosa pan / dosai kal in medium flame.

2. Add 1/2 tsp oil and spread on pan. (You can skip this part, if you use non stick pan).

3. Now add 2 or 2 and 1/2 laddle full of the dosa batter on the tawa. 

4. Sprinkle the Idli Milagai Podi generously on top. Add or sprikle a 1/2 tsp oil on the podi. 

5. Close the oothappam using some lid. ( I used aappa kadai cover). Cook in medium flame for a 1 to 2 min.

6. Open the lid and check whether the oothappam is cooked. If not cooked, let it cook for another min. 

7 . Serve it hot with your favorite sambar or chutney. You also have this as it is, as it already contains the idli milagai powder. 

Yummy and easy Podi Oothappam is ready to be served

Notes:

1. The Batter should be not be too thick or watery. Then oothappam would not come out nicely. Batter consistency plays an important role.

2. Do not flip the oothappam, as you do for the dosa or other oothappam, as the podi gets burnt sometimes and would not be nice. 

3. Covering the oothappam and cooking is my MIL's method. You can try without covering with lid also.

Apple Beetroot Carrot Juice | ABC juice | Juice recipes | Healthy juice recipes | Summer Special Drinks | Healthy Drinks | Welcome Drinks

Apple Beetroot and Carrot Juice aka ABC juice is a juice which I started to like 3 months before. Yes just 3 months before only. I really don't have idea that beet root can be used in the juice. In my office canteen, they opened a new juice shop and in the juices list, they mentioned ABC juice. Wondering what it could be, enquired the shopper and she said it is Apple Beetroot and Carrot juice. I just ordered with a doubt how it might taste and to my surprise, I loved the juice in the first sip itself. From that time, I used to order this juice without sugar and ice. I really love it without sugar and ice. They have a big juice extractor to prepare this ABC juice. Since i do not have it at home, I used my regular mixer grinder to do this, by adding little water and filtering it. Though the outcome was not same like the canteen juice, still I loved it. (Soon will buy the juice extractor... he he he). If you have the juice extractor, never miss to try this juice.
