After a long time, once again I am hit with the frivolous energy to just cook and cook... The past 2 days I cooked more food than I could consume and my fridge is packed :D That's good in a way coz it will keep my purse closed and in turn, me rich by a couple of hundreds of rupees ;D yeyyy!!!!! See how some blessings come by.. Am suddenly rich and healthy :D :D
So came today morning and in the thought provoking process of reeling through my memory on the available options for breakfast, I decided to make ada coz it is easy and I had grated coconut, something that is very rare in my kitchen.
But as is typical of me, I reached the kitchen and suddenly, a revelation hit me and just like that, my plans changed! "Aaagh!!!"... I wanted the godhambu appam (wheat bread), which was more like a thick pancake, that my mom used to make along with the evening tea when my sis and I were kids. As they say, destiny has a way of making things work at the right time.. While it took about half an hour to finalise on the ada, it took only a few seconds to confirm on godhambu appam and since destiny comes prepared, it was one of those days when I had all the necessary ingredients ;D ;D Oh destiny!! You amaze me! :D :D
In the excitement that followed, my godhambu appam was ready in a couple of minutes and here is how I went about it
What I used
Note: to make the bread softer and flufflier, about half a teaspoon of baking powder can be added and then keep the batter aside for a few mins before cooking so the baking powder can work its magic
For those who don't have all the ingredients (like I do most of the time) or are not a fan of egg and milk, just use water instead :D It will turn out just fine
So there it is!! A hot, tummy-filling godhambhu appam in about 20 minutes .. ideal for breakfast and evening tea

In the excitement that followed, my godhambu appam was ready in a couple of minutes and here is how I went about it
What I used
- Wheat flour: 1 cup
- Milk: add enough to make a loose batter
- Cumin seeds: 1/2 teaspoon
- Egg: 1
- Grated coconut: 1/2 cup
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Sugar: 1 tablespoon based on how sweet you want
- Oil: 1 teaspoon
- In a bowl, add the wheat flour, cumin seeds, salt and sugar and mix well
- Stir the contents into a thick paste adding milk
- Then add the grated coconut and egg and if required, add milk to get a moderately loose mixture that will spread on a pan
- Heat a small pan with the oil and add the entire batter that we just prepared. Since it is a thick bread, keep the pan on low flame so the whole bread cooks through and after about 10 minutes, flip it to cook the other side
- To test if the bread has been fully cooked, pierce with a fork and if the fork comes out clean, you can be sure it is done
For those who don't have all the ingredients (like I do most of the time) or are not a fan of egg and milk, just use water instead :D It will turn out just fine
