‘Rava Appam’ is a yummy snack which my Mom used to make. It is a family favorite and I make it whenever there is leftover bread at home. Kids will love this soft and nutritious snack!
I am sending this snack to Priya for the event “Sunday Snacks – Snacks with Breads”
Ingredients
Rava/sooji/semolina – 1 1/2 cups
Ripe Kerala Banana – 1 sliced
Bread slices – 3 cubed
Milk – 2 cups
Butter – 3 tsp melted
Eggs – 2
Sugar – 4 tbsp
Raisins – 1 tbsp
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Method
Beat the eggs well and add sugar, milk, rava and salt. Mix well and add the bread cubes, bananas, vanilla essence and butter. Fold in so that the bread is well soaked and mixed with the batter. The batter should be of pancake or dosa consistency. Pour into greased plates and garnish with raisins. Steam cook for about 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cut into desired shape and serve warm. Enjoy it with your family!!!
You can substitute milk with 1 cup of ground coconut paste which will make the Appam much more softer.

Hi,
I came across your link on Tuesday, checked the keerai parippu kootu and Pepper chicken recipes. The photos looked very tempting, I was at work and couldn’t wait to reach home and try it out. Both came out well. My hubby likes that kind of dal, they serve the same one with Nandini meals. Since I reached home and then prepared, got a little late so had to remove the pepper chicken after adding pepper in a min’s time. The pepper tasted slightly raw but otherwise both came out really well. My father in law liked too 🙂 I would be making both of these regularly. I was going through this recipe and I don’t know how to steam cook the rava appam in pressure cooker, can I cook it in microwave? If yes could you please guide me?
Btw, I tried your potato carrot sabzi and mutta curry with pal yesterday. Mutta curry came out well, exactly like my mom prepares, but sabzi I like my mom’s style more 🙂
Thanks,
Priya.
Hi Priya,
Thanks a lot for trying my recipes and letting me know about the outcome!
Please note that any curry or subzi preparation should be allowed to simmer or fried for some time before switching off the flame. Usually the oil will separate from the sabzi or oil will start floating on top of the curry. Only then it will taste the best.
For steaming Rava Appam, pour water into the pressure cooker and place a flat bottom vessel upside down. Place the plate on top of it and steam cook. Stainless steel steam cooking vessels come along with idli stands. I use one of those. You can use a microwavable dish to cook Rava Appam. Smear some butter on the dish and pour the batter into it. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Please try my other recipes too…and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any doubts.
Happy Cooking!
Lissie
