Beetroot Aappam | Aappam Recipes

     I have been trying to make different varieties of appam such as Palak appam. This beet root aappam is in continuation with this approach. The pink color looks very attractive and the taste is also nice.

Recipe Cuisine: South Indian | Recipe Category:  Breakfast

Preparation Time: 15  mins | Cooking time: 15 mins | Yields : 5-7 appams

Ingredients:

Beetroot (medium size)	1
Sugar	1 tbsp
Aappam Batter (click here for the batter recipe)	1 cup
Oil	For making appam

1 cup =  250 ml

Procedure:

1. Wash and remove the skin of the beetroot and cut it into big chunks.

2. Pressure cook them with little (1/4 cup) water for 4 whistles in medium flame or till it becomes tender.

3. Allow it to cool down and grind them into a fine paste using the cooked water in a mixie.

4. Strain the beetroot juice from the paste.

5. Mix this juice with aappam batter.

6. Add sugar with appam batter and mix them well. Keep it aside for 5 mins.  Beetroot aappam batter is ready.

7. Heat the aappam pan and pour few drops of oil. Then pour a ladle full of batter into the pan. Now rotate the pan in a circular motion, sothat the batter spreads all over the pan. See this video for how to make aappam.

8. Now pour few drops of oil and close the lid of the pan. Cook for 3 mins or till the appam is cooked well.

9. Then take it out from the pan and serve.

      This goes well with coconut milk or coconutchutney.
