Sprouts And Oats Appe

 

Appe or kuzhi paniyaram is a south Indian dish made of steaming batter.

Traditionally made from pulses and rice using a mould.
It can be made sweet and spicy both.

You can make it with very few ingredients and enjoy as a healthy snack.

Today I made it with sprouts, flax seed powder and oats to make it more healthy.

Its an easy way to make kids enjoy healthy stuff. Can’t express the happiness in words when they demand again and again
A very healthy, tasty and easy recipe.

I tempered it with mustard seeds and curry leaves. You can make it without tempering too. But tempering will make it more yummy.
