About this recipe
Anything instant is what catches one's eye. Everyone's life seems to be running very fast , instant and healthy food gains attention. Instant Rava Paddu needs no preparations , no prior plans gets ready within 20-30 minutes.
This is my quick to go , easy and tasty breakfast recipe.
Paddu ,Guliyappa,Gunta ponganalu, Kuzhi paniyaram , Appe are the different names for this dish. Authentic Paddu is extremely delicious which is prepared by soaking and grinding different lentils and rice together and fermenting it overnight.
But here iIm sharing a instant paddu recipe prepared with rava/sooji/semolina. Authentic rice appe recipe is already present on blog. Though you can not match the taste of rice appam with that of rava appe , both recipes have its own distinct taste and texture. Both these appe recipes are equally loved at our home.
To make instant rava paddu / sooji appe , ingredients used are very similar to the ones used for Instant Rava Idli , but I like Paddu better than Rava idli may be because of the amount of oil used on frying appe, makes it more tastier than steamed Rava Idli.
Two main ingredients that differs in Instant Rave Appam and Instant Rava Idli is the use of Poha in Rava appam and use of Baking soda / Eno salt in Rava Idli.
Other south Indian based breakfast recipes for healthy and quick mornings on my blog are : Instant Rava Idli , Instant Oats Idli , Khara Pongal , Sweet Pongal and Semiya Puliyogare.
I also make Banana Appam , this is a sweet appam made with rice , banana , jaggery and bits of coconut. This is a delicious and tasty snack recipe that can be made within 15 minutes and makes a best after school hour snacks for kids.
This is a kind of more filling breakfast/tiffin as sooji is used here .Serve as a evening tiffin along with coconut chutney and a cup of filter coffee or Masala Tea. Such that light dinner can be planned as a part of healthy diet plan.
This tastes good when served with plain coconut chutney without any tadka over it ,as all kind of seasoning is used in Instant Paddu recipe itself.This is my healthy evening snack idea ,a swap for any kind of fried food....,What's yours?

Hi Fernandes , you can drizzle few drops of oil and continue to cook on medium heat further for another 2-3 minutes then you can get nice golden color panyaram . Hope this helps, try this and let me know it works for you or not.
