How many of you agree breakfasts are most important meal of the day ??  I strongly believe ” Eat Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, and Dinner Like a Pauper ” and hence keep searching for new breakfast varieties to experiment in my kitchen .

Recently , in one of the FB food groups i stumbled upon this ” Jowar Paniyaram / Sorghum Appe / Jolada hittina Paddu  ” . It immediately caught my attention as it was new to me , looked soft n fluffy , simple recipe with handy ingredients .. and above all very very healthy . I went ahead and bookmarked the recipe as must try.  I am glad i did try ..everyone loved them to the core. Now these Jowar Appe have entered my regular breakfast menu list. .

If you are looking to include these millet in your diet , you must try this Sorghum Appe …yes.. don’t forget to pep it up with some seasoning , dip it in your favorite chutney and relish it hot.. Yumm !!

Few points to note while making Jowar Paddu :

1. If you have whole jowar you can use it too instead of flour. Soak it for 4-5 hours and grind it separately .
2. The batter should be not too thick or too watery.This has to be slightly thin than idli batter,but little thick than the dosa batter.
3. Seasoning,flavoring you can add of your choice .You can add some other greens /grated carrot /sweet corn.
4. The leftover batter can be used for making dosa as it comes very great.
5. Always cook over low flame and you will get a crunchy and crisp outer while the interior of the paniyaram will be soft and spongy.
6. Serve the guliyappas immediately while they are still hot and crisp because that’s when they taste the best
