Idly Batter Unniappam

For preparing idly batter unniappam, heat 2 tsp of oil in a frying pan and splutter mustard seeds.

Add split bengal gram and roast it a little on low flame.

Then add ginger, shallots and green chillies. Roast it for some time till a fine smell comes.

Toss in the curry leaves.

Add this to idly batter.

Sprinkle salt and mix well.

Keep this mixture untouched for 5-10 minutes.

Pour remaining oil to appakallu(that is used to make neyyappam) and allow it to boil.

Pour the batter to each pit of the appakallu.

Cook each side of unniappam.
