Carrot and Oats Appe Pops

Appe is the one of the popular dish in whole South India. They are known different different names. Here I am trying to give healthy and attractive twist to Appe.

Ingredients: 
Grated carrot – 1 cup
Fine Samolina (Suji/rawa) – ½ cup
Quick oats - ½ cup
Curd – 3 to 4 tbsp
Green chilies – 3 or as per like
Ginger- 1 inch piece
Cumin seeds - ½ tsp
Salt to taste
Hing – 1 pinch
Chopped coriander - ¼ cup
Baking soda- ½ tsp
Water- 1 cup
Veg. oil or butter - as required


Procedure: 
Combine suji and oats in a bowl. Add curd and water, mix well. The consistency is like Idali batter. 
Keep this mixture for minimum 20 minutes for soaking . 
Crush chilies along with ginger and cumin seeds.
Then add carrot, chili crush, hing, coriander, salt, soda. Mix well.

Heat the non-stick 'Appe' pan. Pour or spray  little oil in the rounds.

Pour the above mixture in the pan. Cover and cook for few minutes.

Fry both sides until it will be cooked & became golden brown.

Make the pops with using the toothpicks.
Serve hot with black raisins chuteny or tomato ketchup.

They rock in  "Baccha Party". I submitted this recipe for Simply Tadka’s 2nd Blog-iversary Celebration with Giveaway.

These appe is very good for breakfast, tiffin or as snacks.

You may make uttapa/pancake from this same batter.
