Ingredients
For the Filling:
1 bunch spinach, washed and chopped
1 cup corn kernels, cooked or canned
1/4 cup chopped red onion
4 tbsp mayonnaise
For the Pinwheels:
4 slices whole-wheat bread
Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Prepare the Spinach and Corn Filling
Boil spinach leaves and corn kernels. Sauté chopped onions in a pan, add the boiled spinach, and mix well. Blend the mixture for a consistent texture. Combine with crushed corn and Nutralite Veg Mayo. Nutralite Veg Mayo is enriched with vitamins A, D2 & E.
Step 2: Assemble the Pinwheels
Cut out the sides of the bread slices, then flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin. Spread a generous layer of neutral veg mayo on bread slices. Place the spinach and corn mixture evenly on each slice. Roll the bread slices tightly to form a log. Refrigerate for a while to set.
Step 3: Slice and Serve
Once the pinwheel log has been set, slice it into rounds. Arrange on a plate, and your Nutritious Spinach and Corn Pinwheels are ready to be served.
Ingredients
used to make Suji Appam :
1 cup rava (semolina)
1 cup curd (yogurt)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee
Chopped vegetables (optional, such as onions, carrots, green peas)
Step 1: Combine ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the rava, curd, and water. Mix well until there are no lumps.
Step 2: Add seasonings
Add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the batter. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Add vegetables (optional)
If using vegetables, add them to the batter now.
Step 4: Rest the batter
Cover the batter and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the rava to absorb the liquid and soften.
Step 5: Heat the pan
Heat a non-stick appe pan or a regular pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with oil.
Step 6: Pour batter
Pour a ladleful of batter into each well of the appe pan or onto the hot pan.
Step 7: Pour Ghee on the Batter
Add some Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee on the batter to give it some extra flavor!
Step 8: Cook
Cook until the appams are golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the appams are cooked.
Step 9: Serve
Serve the hot appams with coconut chutney or sambar.

Tips and Variations:
Butter chicken, also known as “murgh makhani” in Hindi, is believed to have originated by chance in Delhi, India.
Legend has it that it was created in the 1950s at the Moti Mahal restaurant when leftover tandoori chicken was mixed with a rich, tomato-based gravy, and the result was the now-beloved dish, butter chicken. This is a testament to how some of the most iconic and delicious recipes are often born out of culinary experimentation.
If you’re looking for ways to make your Suji Appam recipe work just a little bit better, try out these tips!

FAQs
Why does suji appam stick to the pan?
Suji appam can stick to the pan if it’s not greased properly or if the pan isn’t hot enough. To prevent sticking, make sure to grease the pan generously with Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee and allow it to heat properly before pouring in the batter. This will help create a non-stick surface and ensure the appams cook evenly without sticking.
Can I add vegetables or other fillings to the Suji Appam?
Yes, you can definitely add vegetables or other fillings to Suji Appam. Chopped veggies like carrots, peas, onions, or spinach can be mixed into the batter for added flavor and nutrition. You can also stuff the appams with fillings like paneer or mashed potatoes for a delicious twist. Just ensure the filling is finely chopped or cooked before adding to avoid uneven cooking.
Can I make Suji Appam in advance and reheat it later?
Yes, you can make Suji Appam in advance. To store, let them cool completely and then refrigerate in an airtight container. When ready to serve, reheat them in a pan with a little Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee or microwave until warm. This will help maintain their softness and flavor.
Is Suji Appam suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner?
Yes, Suji Appam is versatile and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s a light yet filling dish, perfect for starting your day, as a snack, or paired with a side dish for a wholesome meal. You can customize it with vegetables or fillings to suit any time of day.
What is the best way to serve Suji Appam (with chutney, sambar, or curd)?
Suji Appam is best served with a variety of accompaniments like coconut chutney, sambar, or curd. The crispy texture of the appam pairs wonderfully with the tangy, spicy flavors of chutney or sambar. For a milder option, curd adds a creamy and refreshing contrast, making it a perfect combination for any meal.
How does Nutralite make this recipe healthier compared to traditional methods?
