North Karnataka Pad Recipe by Sanjana V

North Karnataka Pad Recipe ( Salty Appam )
 

Hi All,

 Today I am going to share this specialty breakfast of North Karnataka known as "Pad" . It’s consumes less time unlike dosa/idli because  you need to prepare  sambhar or potato subzi , coconut chutney  but with this dish you just need  the coconut chutney.  And for this dish you need to have the Pad tawa/maker.

Ingredients for Pad :

Rice – 2 cups

Urad daal – 1 cup

Fenugreek seeds (mente/ methi  seeds) – 1 tspn

Poha – ½ cup (optional )

Salt ( according to taste )

1 Soak all the above ingredients for 6-8 hours or overnight except poha .

2. Before grinding it, soak poha for 15 mins and grind altogether to a smooth batter. Allow the batter to ferment for 6-8hrs or overnight .

3. Add salt and water to this mixture. Heat the pad tawa and drizzle little oil in it and pour the batter into each section. ( Optional - In this step you can add chopped onion, green chillies, chopped cilantro, curry leaves and turmeric to the batter and make the pads)

 

 

 

4. Wait for 2 minutes   and flip them. Now the golden  brown  round pads are ready.

 

 

5.  Serve it with the coconut  chutney.

 

 

Enjoy !!!
