  2. Raw rice - 1 cup
  3. Butter milk/Moru ~ ¾ cup
  4. Salt to taste
  5. Oil for deep frying

  4. Few curry leaves chopped
  5. Shallots/Kunjully finely chopped - 2 small
  6. Green chilies finely chopped ~ 2 (adjust according to the spiciness required)


Preparation Method:-
  • Wash and soak the rice for 4-5 hrs. Drain the water and grind the rice by adding buttermilk to make a smooth batter.
  • Add this to the Idli batter, add salt and mix everything well together. Reserve
  • Heat oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, add curry leaves, ginger, shallots, green chillies and saute till shallots turn transulent.
  • Add this seasoning to the prepared batter.
  • Pour oil in an Unniappam vessel, pour a scoop of batter into it. fry till light golden brown color.
  • Turn it over and fry for few mins till other side also turns golden brown.
  • Remove from the oil using a skewer
  • Repeat the  process using remaining batter
  • Serve hot as it is or with any Coconut Chutney, Tomato Chutney, Sambhar or Ketchup.

    Note:- If you don't want the green chili bites(unlike grown ups sometimes kids have problem biting green chilies) you can add a tsp of chilly powder in the batter instead of chopped green chilies
