Let me not take much of your time and quickly share the very famous snack recipe/ street food from Andra..."Punugulu".

The weather is very pleasant these days and you can enjoy this crispy dish hot with chutney or sauce.

Ingredients :

   1½ cups idli batter

   2 tablespoons rava

   2 tablespoons rice flour

   1 onion, finely chopped

   2 tablespoons coriander leaves

   1 piece grated ginger

   1 or 2 green chilies finely chopped

   Finely chopped curry leaves

   Grated carrot - 1 medium

   Finely chopped Capcicum - 1 medium  

   Salt & Pepper powder to taste

   Asafetodia  - 1/4th tsp

   Oil for frying

Method :

Take idli batter in a mixing bowl. Whisk it very well. Add rava and mix well. Add 2 tablespoons rice flour and the batter should not be watery.  Add all the other ingredients except oil and mix well.   Heat the oil in a Kadai and when it is hot, with the help of your hands drop the batter and cook on medium flame.  Flip both sides and fry till golden brown.

For all those who are health conscious, you may heat an Appe Patra and grease the moulds with few drops of oil. Spoon in the prepared batter. Flip after few minutes and cook till golden brown. Serve Punugulu hot with chutney or Sauce.
