Instant Healthy Appam Recipe

Trying healthy yet time-saving recipes for my toddler is my mission. For homemade-baby-food recipes, I usually try the instant versions. So that I can make some quick breakfast and snacks for my toddler and husband, which will be tasty and won’t lack the healthy part too.

I started giving Rava Dosa to my baby when she completed 8 months. Slowly and gradually I started adding different veggies to this dosa batter. This is one of the tried and tested homemade baby food recipes.

I tried making these appams with a similar batter of Rava dosa, and surprisingly it turned out to be delicious, with minimal oil/ghee usage. It is one of the excellent baby finger food recipes.

My kiddo loves eating it at least thrice a week. And now it has become my savior on busy days when I run out of healthy breakfast ideas.

Instant Healthy Appam Recipe Ingredients:

half cup Rava / Semolina (Fine or Superfine versions)

4-5 spoons curd

1 medium-sized carrot – grated

2 teaspoons rolled oats (optional)

1 medium-sized cucumber – grated

1/4 cup coriander finely chopped OR spinach finely chopped (you can combine the both to 1/4 quantity

1 teaspoon oil/ghee for greasing the molds.

Salt as per taste

Water as required

Instant Healthy Appam Recipe Method:

Take Rava / Semolina in a bowl.

Add curd and little water.

Mix well and keep aside for 10 minutes.

Now the rava / semolina would have soaked all the moisture. Add some water to it and bring it to idli-like consistency.

Mix oats, salt, coriander/spinach.

Add grated cucumber and carrots.

Add water to adjust the consistency.

Grease the appam pan with oil/ghee.

Heat it on a high flame and bring it to a low flame as soon as the ghee reaches the smoking point.

Fill all the cavities (molds) with the batter and close it with a lid.

Check it after 4-5 minutes and flip all the appams to the other side and let it get cooked from both sides.

Switch off the flame and Serve hot with Coriander/Coconut chutney or with ketchup.

PS: You can alter the veggies as per your choice.

Also, can add a pinch of dry fruit powder to enhance the health benefits for babies.
