Whole urad dal- 1/2 cup
fenugreek seeds - 2 tsps

Wash and soak both the rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds together for 2-3 hours. Grind to a smooth batter. Add salt to taste, mix well and let it ferment overnight or 12/15 hrs.
Wash and pressure cook the beetroot. Cool, peel, chop and grind it to a smooth purée.
To make the red velvet Kuzhi appam Mix the beetroot puree( 3/4th cup) with Kuzhi appam batter( 2 1/2 cups) well.
Heat the Kuzhi appam pan. Add little oil in all the moulds. Pour a tablespoon of batter in each mould and let it cook for few mins till the under side becomes crisp
