Spicy Masala Kallappam

Spicy #MasalaKallappam : The other day I prepared #Kallappam - Steamed Rice Cake and some leftover batter was in the fridge. I do not like to repeat the same breakfast for the day.
Suddenly an idea struck me. When we were living in Bangalore we used to buy a masala bun from VVV bakery. It used to be very spicy and flavorful. This kallappam tastes like a bread and why can't some spicy masala be added to the batter and get a spicy masala kallappam just like that masala bun.
Immediately got into action and prepared masala with onion, carrot, coriander, mint, green chilly & other condiments. It turned out very good and tasty too. No need to prepare any accompaniment as it is spicy and can be relished with tomato sauce.
Here comes the recipe.

1 1/2 cups                              Kallappam Batter
