It's Mango season and we have made and
stuffed ourselves with aamras, ice creams, pannacotta, milkshakes, cheese cake
and many more mango dishes Indian and international.
Last month when we had mango mania
challenge in bakers guild, I had asked Mom for some recipes which are different, not the usual ones and that’s when she
gave me this recipe. It's an easy to make, instant snack. Today when I made
this dish made some changes and it's turned out even better than my first try.
Ingredients
1
cup jada rawa/semolina
Pulp
of 1 mango and 2 small Elachi bananas
Milk
(approx. ½ cup)
Pinch
of salt
Gul/
jaggery according to taste
Cardamom
and nutmeg powder ¼ teaspoon
1
tablespoon + Ghee for greasing
½
teaspoon soda
Method
- Put 1 tablespoon ghee in a kadai and roast the rawa till golden brown.
- Allow to cool.
- Add mango and banana pulp.
- Mix well. Add salt cardamom and nutmeg powder and jaggery.
- Add jaggery if you feel the mixture is less sweet. I added approx. ¼ cup.
- Mix the batter well. Now add milk to get the batter in a pouring consistency.
- Finally add the soda and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes.
- Check the consistency after 20 minutes. If you feel the batter is dry add more milk to get the right consistency.
- Put the appe patra on heat. Put some ghee in the moulds and pour spoonful of these batter in each mould. Cover and let it cook till it's golden in colour in bottom.
- With a fork turn it around and let it become golden brown on other side too.
- Serve hot with a dollop of ghee on the top…
Options:
- You can add either dry fruit powder or chopped nuts roasted in little ghee. It will definitely take the taste to another level.
- If you don’t like bananas you can add just mango pulp. In that case increase quantity of pulp.
