Good old Attu~ Simply Homemade…..not really!!!
Most of us dont like to do a lot of cooking on friday evenings or weekends..at least I dont. And I keep looking for ways to reduce my time to cook and cooks tasty things in less time. This recipe is simple and quick way of making something totally delicious and can serve as evening snack or as party appetitzer.
Here is the recipe..
1 pack of Gits Rava Idli Mix/ left over homemade idli batter
1 medium size onion
4-5 Green chillies
Chopped Coriander
Finely chopped ginger
3-4 spring onions , finely chopped
2 pinches of salt to season
Method
- Follow the recipe written on back cover of the gits pack and mix it in water. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile mix all chopped onions, chilli, coriander, tomatoes,spring onions and ginger, and add salt for light seasoning. if you have other vegetables that you want to add you can do that also. You can also try other seasonings like italian seasonings… be creative!!
- Take a deep pan, add some oil and pour 1/4 cup batter and spread evenly and thickly.
- Take a spoonfull of above mix vegetables and spread evenly on the batter. Add few drops of oil around corners of attu and let the attu cook for 2-3 mins per side.
you can make small pancake size attu or one big uthappam style attu…..the small attus of 2 inch diameter can be used excellent apetizer…
This is a very low fat and light dish…unlike uthappam and it can be done very fast. Serve hot with any sambar or plain attu is as excellent tasting as with a companion..If you like spicy…try chopped jalopenos…Sure to blow wind out of your ears. Happy Cooking.
